The decision on possible surgery for Giuseppe Mastinu has been postponed by 30 days. Torres announced this in the medical report published on October 28, updating fans on the midfielder’s condition after he sustained two cervical vertebrae fractures in the match against Guidonia Montecelio.
During the period specified by the club, further tests are planned to assess the condition of the fractures and determine whether surgery is necessary.
Further checks before a decision
The decision followed further examinations and consultations involving Mastinu, the Rossoblù medical staff and Dr. Pinna, identified in the statement as chief physician at the AOUI of Verona.
The plan therefore includes an interim monitoring phase before a decision is made on treatment. Surgery remains a possibility to be assessed: the October 28 statement neither announces that it has been scheduled nor rules it out.
The update provides further information on the medical plan compared with the previous bulletin, in which the club announced that Giuseppe Mastinu had fractured two cervical vertebrae, noting that examinations were still ongoing.
No return date announced
The injury occurred in the match on Sunday, October 25, at the Vanni Sanna, where Torres beat Guidonia 2–0. Mastinu had to leave the field in the first half after falling during an aerial challenge and was replaced by Daniele Giorico.
The 30-day period concerns the decision on possible surgery. It is not a forecast of how long he will be out, nor a deadline for his return to training or matches.
The new report does not give a recovery timeline. Torres has announced that further information will be shared through its official channels when available.
