Belgian national Axel Witsel underwent Achilles tendon surgery and his participation in the European Championship this summer is in question. The Borussia midfielder (Dortmund) was injured in the first half in the victory over RB Leipzig with 3:1 on Saturday and was forced to leave the field.


`I underwent a successful operation and am starting a day-to-day recovery with the goal of coming back stronger than before. With the support of friends and family, I will return to the field, ` Witsel, who turns 32 today, wrote on Twitter.















Initial predictions by live stream soccer are that the player will recover between 4 and 7 months. The European Championship is scheduled for June 11-July 11 this year.


Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has said he will wait until the last minute to announce the squad for the European Championship, hoping Witsel will recover before the start of the tournament. `Witsel is a key player in the Belgian national team. He has 110 games for the team and is key for the team on and off the field, ` Martinez said.
