On December 19, Paris Saint-Germain announced that their hero Matvey Safonov had returned from Qatar injured. “Matvey Safonov suffers from a broken left hand following the match against Flamengo. A new update will be made within 3 to 4 weeks.” A hard blow for the man who offered the Intercontinental Cup to the Rouge et Bleu. However, some voices in Russia announce that the goalkeeper will return well before the four weeks mentioned by the capital club. This is the case of sports doctor Nikita Karlitsky.
“This type of injury heals very well, especially since it is an arm injury. So I highly doubt it will take him more than three weeks to recover. After four weeks, he will be able to play without any restrictions. Sometimes you can give up, and if it’s just a small tear, you don’t have to wait for it to heal. But since Safonov is a goalkeeper, he can train and stay in good physical condition. He will be able to resume goalkeeping exercises in a week and a half to two weeks: juggling, working on his sensitivity. Four weeks is the maximum. But he could return to the field sooner.he told MatchTV.
