Atletico Madrid has officially confirmed that midfielder Johnny Cardoso is preparing for surgery. The club’s medical team has completed a thorough examination, and a final surgical decision has been made. The recovery period will take several months, meaning that, according to doctors, Cardoso will likely miss the World Cup. This is a significant loss for the U.S. national team. Cardoso is a key player in the team’s midfield, so the national team’s coaching staff will need to find a replacement for this position within a tight deadline. Atletico Madrid has taken control of the situation and promised to publish detailed reports on Cardoso’s recovery process. However, the estimated time before he can return to the field does not give him a chance of reaching his best condition before the tournament begins. The club’s management emphasizes that the athlete’s health is of utmost importance, and a tight schedule will not allow for a rushed recovery process.
