Willy Boly ruled out until 2020 with fractured leg

Wolves defender Willy Boly has been ruled out until next year after surgery on his fractured leg.The 28-year-old had an operation on Wednesday morning, the club have confirmed.Boly suffered the fracture in training on Saturday and, while it is not season-ending, he is expected to be out for months.Head of medical Phil Hayward told the clubs official site: Willy had surgery in London this morning to repair the bone with a small metal plate and screws.The procedure went as planned with no complications and he will now return to Compton to begin the early stages of his rehabilitation.Willy will be in a boot for the first six weeks, working hard to maintain fitness and muscle bulk in the leg before progressing to more functional activities.In terms of time scales, a lot depends on how he progresses in the first few weeks and how well the fracture heals.Boly had played in 16 of Wolves 20 games this term, scoring a late winner in their 1-0 Europa League victory at Besiktas earlier this month.He joined the club from Porto, initially on loan, in 2017 before completing a 10million permanent switch last summer.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
