The first impressions after the injury were that he might need an operation, which would have stopped him playing at the World Cup with his country.

For now, his intentions are far from that option and he is hoping to arrive in good condition for the tournament.

He had a scan and although he will have to wait to find the exact magnitude of the injury, he will try to avoid going under the knife, says Sport.
