His operation was successful and he will be discharged from the hospital soon, according to the Myanmar Football Federation.
“He is feeling well. He had an operation and was administered an anesthetic. He will be discharged from the hospital soon. Now, a plaster cloth wrap has been placed on his ankle. It will be removed in two weeks,” said the MFF doctor who accompanied the Myanmar defender.
