Billy Gilmour took to social media to announce the new start to his season. The Napoli midfielder, who underwent surgery in London to address the pubalgia that had hampered him for weeks, shared a message that hints at a new beginning: "The start of the road to recovery after successful surgery."
The Scottish midfielder hasn't played since November 1st, the day of his last match against Como. Since then, after consultations in Italy and England and a deteriorating condition, the decision to undergo surgery was made. The operation, performed yesterday, marked a turning point. Recovery time suggests a possible return in February, when Gilmour could return to Italy's center field.
Accompanying the message was a photo from his hospital bed, a tangible testimony to weeks spent in pain and uncertainty. "After a period of despair, driven by pain, we worked with specialists to identify the ideal time for me to seek treatment and overcome this problem," he said. He then looked to the future, with a thought for the fans, whom he did not want to leave in silence: "I will miss the matches and the energy of the supporters in the center of the field, but I'm already eager to return and focus on the journey that lies ahead. See you soon, stay happy."
