Complications from hernia surgery are likely to sideline United States international midfielder Kenny Saief for at least two months, a source from club side KAA Gent confirmed to ESPN FC.
The source corroborated the details of a report from Israeli media outlet One, which indicated that after undergoing the surgery, Saief contracted an infection in his abdomen that required an additional procedure.
The source stated that Saief will now be on antibiotics for two weeks, and will then return to light training in about a month. Once Saief returns to practice, it will take at least a month for Saief to return to full fitness.
