Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy has issued an update on his shoulder surgery.
The 28-year-old sustained a dislocated shoulder against Arsenal last weekend, only 10 days after suffering the same injury against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League
And Magpies boss Eddie Howe confirmed Murphy had undergone surgery earlier this week.
“He’s had surgery,” Howe confirmed to The Gazette. “Non-invasive keyhole surgery on his shoulder, which should have resolved the issue.” That will probably take about nine weeks.”
Murphy will be out until the new year after missing the last nine weeks of action for Newcastle in all competitions, including Premier League matches against Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as the Carabao Cup quarter-final match at Chelsea next month.
Murphy resorted to social media after the operation to provide an update.
The winger posted an image of his left arm in a sling as well as the surgery scars on his shoulder along with the caption: “On the mend! Surgery went successfully on Monday night.
