Eugene Laverty says he is optimistic to make a 100 per cent recovery from t🐽he double wrist injury that forced him out of the latest World S💜uperbike Championship round at Imola.

The Irishman fractured both wrists as he cꩵame down from a high-side on the exit of Acqua Minerale during first free practice for round five of the season. It was later confirmed the crash was caused by traction control issues on his Go 🐲Eleven Ducati.

Flown to Barcelona to undergo treatment with the help of Dr. Xavier Mir, a specialist in hand and wrist injuries often used by riders, Laverty has gone under the🌳 knife to correct his right wrist with another surgery on his left wrist to come.

“We’re in Barcelona hospital for my secꦰond surgery,” he said speaking in a video posted to Twitter from his hospital bed. “I had an operation on my right wrist🧔 on Saturday, the one I was most worried about – there were seven fractures inside, three pretty big one!

“Dr Mir has come to my💙 rescue and done a hell of a job, so I am more relaxed about that and I am sure it is go♏ing to be OK.”

“Now I have to think about this one [left wrist], that will be the second surgery and there is going to be three proc♔edures on this one. We couldn’t do them both together because it would have been something like a six-hour operation, which I don’t think the body can accept!

“Not ideal but I am hopeful of a 100 per cent recovery, jus𝔍t these things happen, unfortunately in the last couple of years they have happened to me.
