Los Puma's prop Thomas Gallo facing lengthy spell on the sidelines
By Ian Cameron
Rising Argentina and Benetton prop Thomas Gallo is out for at least two months after injuring himself playing Connacht in the URC.
"Benetton Rugby's medical staff have released the following update on Thomas Gallo's physical condition," a statement reads. "In the last URC match held against Connacht, Gallo suffered a rupture of the external meniscus in his right knee. Therefore the player underwent arthroscopic surgery performed by Dr. Factors at the John XXIII Nursing Home.
"In the next few days, the player will begin his rehabilitation process."
A tear of a meniscus can take as long a three months to recover from.
Returning to top level rugby following a meniscus rupture can be a challenging and lengthy process. The first step in the recovery process is typically surgery to repair or remove the damaged tissue. After surgery, a rehabilitation program will be put in place to help the athlete regain strength, flexibility, and mobility in the affected joint. This may include physical therapy, exercises to improve range of motion, and the use of assistive devices such as crutches or a knee brace.
As the athlete progresses through the rehabilitation program, they may be able to gradually return to sport-specific training and practice. However, it is important to follow the guidance of medical professionals and not push oneself too hard too soon, as this can increase the risk of further injury or setback.
The length of time required to return to top level sport following a meniscus rupture will depend on the severity of the injury, as well as the athlete's age, fitness level, and other individual factors. In general, it can take anywhere from several weeks to several months to fully recover and return to competition.
It's a harsh blow for Gallo, who has been in excellent form for both Benetton and at Test level for Argentina.

England have absolutely no need for him. Tom Willis and Ben Earl are better with a much higher work rate.
Go to commentsI’m a musician, and not long ago, I was scammed out of $12,000 by a fake music streaming service called Streamify Pro. It’s a story I never thought would happen to me, but it did, and I feel it’s important to share it, especially for other artists in the music industry who might be vulnerable to the same scam. I got an email from what seemed like a legitimate music streaming platform, offering me an opportunity to get my music on a huge new service. They promised high visibility, global exposure, and the chance to generate more revenue from streams. It seemed like a dream come true for an independent musician like me, who is always looking for ways to grow my audience. The email looked official, and they even provided testimonials from artists who’d “made it big” by using their service. They had a polished website with all the right buzzwords, making everything look very convincing. They also gave me a “special deal” on their package, offering me placement on their platform for a fee of $12,000. It was a hefty amount, but I thought it was worth the investment, considering the exposure they promised. I transferred the money, but soon after, things started to feel off. My music was never uploaded to their platform. They stopped responding to my emails, and the phone number they gave me went straight to voicemail. I tried to do some research and found that there were no actual reviews or artists talking about the service online. It hit me hard—I had just lost $12,000.That’s when I reached out to ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST. I was feeling desperate and didn’t know what else to do. They were incredibly responsive and understood exactly what I was going through. They launched an investigation into the scam and worked tirelessly to recover the full amount that I had lost. To my amazement, they were able to recover 100% of the $12,000 I had been scammed out of. Since then, I’ve been recommending ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST to other musicians. They did what seemed impossible, and their service was absolutely worth it. If you’re a musician or anyone in the creative industry, be cautious about these types of scams. I learned the hard way, but thanks to ASSET RESCUES SPECIALIST, I got all of my money back.DM FOR MORE DETAILS:mail: assetrescuespecialist@qualityservice.comWhatsApp:+ 1 9 0 3 5 5 9 1 7 3 3.support@assetrescuespecialist.com.
