The Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, who was aiming for a hat-trick in the Ardennes classics before having to abandon Liège-Bastogne-Liège on a fall, suffers in particular from a scaphoid fracture in his left wrist and will be operated on on Sunday, announced his UAE team.
“Tadej suffers from fractures to the left scaphoid and the semilunar bone (in the left hand). The scaphoid will require an operation. He will be operated on this afternoon (Sunday) by a hand surgeon here in Genk,” team medical director Adrian Rotunno said in a statement.
