AC Milan can confirm that Ruben Loftus-Cheek underwent laparoscopic appendectomy surgery due to acute abscessed appendicitis. The operation, which was performed by Professor Francesco Corcione and his team, went perfectly to plan.
Wout van Aert expressed that his collision with a spectator effectively ruined his podium chances, stating, 'Too bad, because I could have ridden for second or third place. But hey, I'm happy with how it went. I had a successful day.' This insight reflects his focus on the overall experience despite the setback.
