Gabriel Obertan would be able to play his next game for Newcastle United in March 2015 only.
The winger went through thigh operation yesterday and the doctors say that it’s not going to take him any lesser than 4 months to be back to competitive football.
Last weekend, Obertan had pulled his thigh muscles in the initial periods of the game versus Liverpool FC.
The Newcastle medical staff gave him the treatment on the pitch itself, but, he did not manage to stand back on his feet. After that, the stretcher was brought on and he was taken off.
At that very moment, it was evident that something was serious there in the Frenchman’s thigh and it did turn out to be serious as the scan reports showed that the muscles were torn and the operation was needed.
