Wout van Aert injury update: “Serious damage to knee joint has also been identified”…….

Considering the circumstances, I am pretty good,” Van Aert said when asked about his current condition. “That crash was one with serious impact, and I was in the hospital for a while. Last week was not easy, during which I couldn’t move my knee and had to lie in the chair a lot. After a few days, I became more mobile and could walk again. I had a deep wound in my knee.”

“That had to be stitched, and the knee is inconvenient. To let that heal properly, I was not allowed to start my leg for a long time. Furthermore, during additional examinations in Belgium, we found that there was also severe damage to the knee joint. A dent, as it were, on the side. That explained all the pain I had and why it was so difficult to support. But fortunately, it’s an injury that will hold me back once I get on the bike again.”
