An AEW talent is out of action
Mar 2, 2023
Fuego Del Sol won't be in an All Elite Wrestling ring for a little while.
After initially announcing that he dislocated his right foot and suffered a minor fracture, Fuego has revealed in an update that he has fractured his foot in five different places.
Fuego Del Sol wrote on Instragram:
"Injury Update…
"With the original x-rays, last week after they confirmed the dislocation of my right foot, they believed I only had one minor fracture.
"After the CT scan upon further examination, today they determined I actually fractured my foot in 5 DIFFERENT PLACES, the doctor told me that the fact I finished the match was unbelievable. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug!
"Now let's talk about the big thing, ligament damage. The orthopedic said the main ligament around my Lisfranc bone is a little displaced but not completely separated. So now I have to go see a foot specialist to determine if it needs surgery or if it can heal on its own. If it can heal on its own the recovery is 6-8 weeks because all my bones are in the right spots and the fractures just need time to heal, BUT if I need surgery it could be 3 months. So expect another update within the next week, I'm hoping for the best.
"Not the news we wanted. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little frustrated. Focusing on my recovery and advancing my non-physical ventures like, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, IG and content of the likes to keep me busy and my mind off this. Any love and support sent my way is appreciated immensely!"
Fuego last wrestled for All Elite Wrestling at the February 15 taping of Dark: Elevation in a loss to Juice Robinson. He suffered the injury wrestling on the indies for California's Supreme Pro Wrestling on February 19.
