Michael Elgin, who had to undergo surgery to get a fractured orbital bone fixed, posted the following injury update on Twitter:
Home from the hospital. Looks like the area wasn’t cleaned out properly during the original surgery. Which allowed the incision to stay

Irritated and swollen. This stopped it from closing fully and bacteria got into the wound. I am basically on 4 weeks of rest and antibiotics

The doctors said the bone was fine, but the bacteria was at risk of reaching the bone. So the next 4 weeks are crucial to be cleared.
