Today, in the clinics of Boohenhausen in Munich, an operation was performed on the striker Claudio Pizarro. The surgery was performed by one of the best surgeons in Germany, Professor Christian Lumentas.

During the match between the national teams of Peru and Venezuela, C. Pizarro suffered a serious head injury, but he was not substituted and finished the match only after receiving a second yellow card. Later it was revealed that the injury was serious and the footballer was quickly flown to Germany. There, doctors diagnosed a fractured skull.

In an interview with the newspaper "Bild," the Bayern Munich press spokesman Uli Hoeneß said: "If the operation is successful, it is possible that our striker will be able to train and play successfully again soon. However, for 4-5 weeks, the footballer will definitely not be able to train."

In Germany, there are even rumors that Claudio Pizarro may not be able to play with his head anymore, but only time will tell."
