WWE.com posted the following today:
WWE.com can confirm that Fernando of Los Matadores suffered an
injury to his ankle and knee this past weekend at a WWE Live Event in Newark,
Delaware.
Following the Six-Man Tag Team Match where he suffered the
injury, the tag-team Superstar was splinted and taken to a local emergency room
for precautionary reasons, according to WWE trainer Larry Heck. Fernando
underwent X-rays to determine the nature of his injuries, and after reviewing
the X-rays on Monday, WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann was able to confirm a
diagnosis.
“Fortunately there are no fractures. However, he has a pretty
significant left ankle sprain, as well as a sprain of one of the ligaments of
the knee,” said Amann. “We put him in a boot, he’s on crutches, and we expect
him to be back in three to four weeks.”
Amann also added that Fernando
would be undergoing rehab at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, to
help his recovery. Stay with WWE.com for more on Fernando’s
condition.
