Aubameyang to have knee surgery, Deportivo lose Casadó too
Deportivo striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 37, needs meniscus surgery after the Betis game, while loanee Marc Casadó also went under the knife for a broken collarbone.
The Gabon striker is due to be discharged from hospital later that day.
The club has not given a return date. The 37-year-old was hurt in last weekend's game against Real Betis. He had an MRI scan on Monday and travelled to Madrid today to see the sports doctor Manuel Leyes.
Aubameyang had scored in 5 consecutive league games and made 2 assists in the 7 played so far in LaLiga.
Deportivo lost another player in the same match. Marc Casadó, the midfielder on loan from FC Barcelona, fractured his collarbone and has also been operated on. He joined this month and has yet to score for the club.
