Soccer: Balotelli pubalgia op a success

(ANSA) - Milan, November 18 - AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli had successful surgery for pubalgia in Germany Wednesday and will be out for a further month, Milan sources said.
    Balotelli, who has been sidelined for a month and a half with the problem, was operated on in Munich by surgeon Ulrike Muschaweck.
    "The recovery time is four weeks, barring complications," said a statement from Silvio Berlusconi's club. Pubalgia, also known as a sports hernia, is a chronic groin lesion.
