Champions League: Figo suffers broken nose
Real Madrid's Portuguese winger Luis Figo will have to undergo surgery after he suffered a broken nose during his side’s Champions League quarter-final second leg victory over Galatasaray on Wednesday.
Real won 3-0 on the night to clinch a 5-3 aggregate win, but a challenge from Emre Belozoglu in the second half left Figo bleeding heavily from his nose.
Tests at a Madrid clinic yesterday revealed that Figo had broken two bones, but not the nasal septum.
He will undergo surgery on Friday under a local anaesthetic.
The operation will leave Figo doubtful for Sunday's La Liga clash with Real Zaragoza, but the club said he had not yet been completely ruled out of participation.
