Cillessen quadricep surgery successful

Dutch goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen went under the knife on Thursday after tearing a muscle and a tendon in his right quadricep.

According to the club, club doctor Ignacio Muñoz completed the surgery and the keeper is "doing perfectly".

Although Valencia haven't put a timescale on his recovery, sources suggest Cillessen will be out for the next three months to recover.
