Camacho undergoes surgery

Ignacio Camacho has had surgery on an ankle injury.

VfL Wolfsburg midfielder Ignacio Camacho underwent surgery on his left ankle in Switzerland at the start of this week. The decision was taken to correct the 28-year-old's persistent ankle problems given that he already faced several weeks out of action due to a severe muscle injury. The operation, which took place at the Rennbahnklinik in Basel, was successful according to the player's surgeons. The Spaniard will now undergo a rehabilitation programme in Wolfsburg.

Camacho sustained the muscle injury, which has kept him sidelined since the Wolves' away game at SV Werder Bremen on 5 October, in training.
