The Malian striker was operated on by Doctor Ripoll's team in Madrid. Left-back Akieme suffers the same injury but with different severity. 

El Bilal Touré was operated on by the Doctor Ripoll's team in Madrid after the injury sustained on his right thigh -rectus femoris muscle- during the match against Sevilla FC. It was decided that he needed surgery after several diagnostic tests and various X-rays.

His age, strength and explosiveness were also taken into account before the decision was made. The Malian centre-forward's recovery period will be long but time will tell. The UD Almeria medical services report that the operation went well and the 21-year-old has already started his road to recovery last Sunday.

Sergio Akieme also picked up the same injury at the same venue -Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium-, but it is less serious. The 25-year-old left-back's recovery period will also depend on his rehab.
