“The operation went very well, more fear than harm, I will be back on the field very soon. Thank you for your messages of support ». With a photo of him on a hospital bed, Luca Zidane gave good news about his health. Hit in the head during the defeat against Almeria (2-4) last Sunday in Liga 2, the second son of “Zizou” suffered a double fracture to the jaw and chin.
