No surgery for Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas

Keylor Navas has revealed that he does not require surgery on his Achilles injury.

It was recently revealed that the Real Madrid goalkeeper had aggravated the problem while on international duty with Costa Rica.

There had been suggestions that he would require an operation to fix the complaint, but the 28-year-old has confirmed that following tests, he must "rest" instead.

"Happy, thank God. The club doctors have assessed me in Madrid and have discarded an operation on the heel injury," he wrote on Twitter.

"Today at Sanitas La Moraleja I received platelet-rich plasma treatment on the left heel. Now to rest."

However, the injury will keep Navas sidelined for next month's Gold Cup.
