Miguel Gutiérrez had surgery on his left knee's meniscus to alleviate pain that had been bothering him for several weeks. He will be out for about two months.

His goal is to be 100 percent fit for the preseason, which he will spend with the first team in the hopes of earning a permanent spot in the squad when Marcelo's contract expires on June 30th.

The Real Madrid youth team member did not sustain a serious injury and, after consulting with club doctors, decided to have surgery to repair the damaged area of the meniscus and alleviate the pain. According to EFE, the intervention went "perfectly," and the footballer will begin his recovery process in the coming days.
