Real Sociedad's Spain winger Barrenetxea faces long time out after hamstring operation

Madrid, Nov 14 (UNI) Real Sociedad will be without Spain international winger Ander Barrenetxea for an extended period after the 24-year-old underwent surgery on his right hamstring in Madrid.

Real Sociedad confirmed that Barrenetxea, who suffered the injury during last weekend's match against Rayo Vallecano, underwent surgery at the Hospital Universitario Vithas Madrid Aravaca.
The operation was performed by Finnish specialist Lasse Lempainen, according to Xinhua.
"Dr. Lasse Lempainen, using open surgery, assessed the complexity of the injury and treated it by performing an anatomical reconstruction of the origin of the hamstring musculature. The procedure was carried out successfully, without any complications," Real Sociedad said on its website.
Barrenetxea now faces a lengthy recovery, with reports suggesting he could be sidelined for five to six months. If his rehabilitation goes according to plan, he could return for the closing stages of the season, although the club has not officially confirmed a timetable for his recovery.
