Wawrinka faces spell out after having foot surgery

Three-times Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka faces a few weeks on the sidelines after having an operation on his left foot for a niggling problem, the Swiss said on Thursday.

“After having some problems in my left foot for a while, I have decided to do a small procedure on it,” Wawrinka said in a tweet accompanied by a picture of him on a hospital bed.

“Everything went well. I will be out for a few weeks but can’t wait to start practising again soon.”

Wawrinka underwent knee surgery following his last ATP title in 2017 and had trouble with injuries through 2018.
