In Madureira, Patrick Vieira undergoes knee surgery: ‘It will be marked in my life’


The athlete’s recovery period should be between six and eight months.

Madureira midfielder Patrick Vieira, 30, underwent surgery last Monday (30) on the cruciate ligament in his right knee. The player was injured on January 5, after a break in training.




Patrick says his anticipation of playing in Madureira’s shirt was great, but now he needs to focus on the knee recovery process.

– After I got injured, the coaching staff told me that the expectation was very high because I arrived physically well, that I was evolving well. I prepared a lot to compete in the championship in Rio, to exploit my career again, but unfortunately I had this knee injury. Now it’s time to focus on shooting, which is the most important thing.

The player reports that after being diagnosed with the injury, he has had a lot of support from his teammates and coaching staff.

– It was nice to receive words of support from my teammates, coaching staff. Every day, during physiotherapy, they seek me out, asking how my recovery is going. And this is very important to me.

The recovery period after knee cruciate ligament surgery is six to eight months. Patrick says he is focused on recovering as quickly as possible and continuing the season.

– I already had a serious injury to my left knee, I didn’t play for more than a year. It is a slow process that requires a lot of patience, attention and training. Above all, my dream is to return to play, this is my goal – concluded the midfielder.
