# Fernandez undergoes surgery on hip injury

Young Newcastle winger Victor Fernandez has undergone surgery, having missed the past few weeks with a hip injury, the player himself has revealed.

The Spanish starlet had been regularly featuring for the Magpies’ Under-23s side, but due to a hip issue the 20-year old had missed several weeks of action.

Following complications with his recovery, Fernandez was forced to undergo surgery – news that the player broke on his twitter account.

Fernandez signed for Newcastle last January from Spanish side UE Cornella, and although he hasn’t made his first-team debut at St James’ Park yet, the youngster has previously trained with the first-team in the hope of impressing Rafa Benitez.

Having joined Newcastle on pre-season recently, Fernandez has refused to let this latest set-back bring down his spirits, with the starlet keen to be back on the field as soon as possible. In his [tweet](https://twitter.com/victorfdez98/status/1068203384119992321), Fernandez said:

> Today I have had an operation in the hip but luckily everything went very well and I am already thinking on recovering as soon as possible to play again.
