Est. Return 8/23/2026
Undergoes successful surgery
Murillo (knee) underwent successful surgery on Tuesday to repair a medial collateral ligament injury and damage to the medial meniscus in his right knee, with the procedure performed arthroscopically by Dr. Antonio Luis Leiva Gea at Hospital Quironsalud Malaga, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Murillo was forced off in the 53rd minute of the promotion playoff final against Almeria, the victory that secured Malaga's return to La Liga, making the injury a bittersweet end to a historic campaign. The surgery involved an arthroscopic repair of the medial meniscus and reinforcement of the anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament, with Murillo expected to miss pre-season entirely and unlikely to be available for the start of Malaga's debut La Liga season in late August.
