Socceroos left-back Jordy Bos has undergone successful knee surgery after his World Cup campaign was cut short by injury, according to ABC News (AU).
Bos sustained the injury during Australia's clash with Egypt, forcing him out of the tournament prematurely. The full-back has since gone under the knife to repair the damage, with his recovery now underway.
Confirming the procedure had gone smoothly, those around the player struck a defiant tone, vowing that Bos "will be back stronger" once his rehabilitation is complete.
While no firm return date has been outlined, the surgery marks the first step in what is expected to be a lengthy recovery process for the defender, who will now turn his focus to getting back to full fitness away from the international stage.
Bos had been a key part of the Socceroos' World Cup setup before his campaign was ended early, and his injury represents a blow both to his club prospects and Australia's plans, though the exact timeline for his comeback remains unclear at this stage, per ABC News (AU).
