Pastore gives update following successful surgery

Javier Pastore has given an update on his condition, after he underwent surgery in Barcelona this week.

The Argentine midfielder, 31, underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left hip - with the club' medical staff later confirming that the surgery had been completed successfully.

Posting on Instagram the following day, Pastore updated his followers to confirm that everything went well - and that he is looking forward to recovering as soon as possible.

"Hi guys! Yesterday I underwent surgery on my hip, which is why I am here in Barcelona," Pastore wrote.

"It all went well - apart from a little bit of pain right now!

"As you all know, I have fought this problem all year - but I tried to wait as long as possible before undergoing the operation, to try and be available to both the coach and my teammates until the end of the season.

"Now I will concentrate on recovering as fast as possible and preparing in the best possible way for next season. Forza Roma!"
