Big risk. He won't have done much training. Even with key hole surgery it's still an invasive operation. Add in the factor of the general anasthetic. Possibly a course of painkillers and antibiotics not the ideal situation for a big game. Not certain of the time factor but I know the medics don't like you to fly after an operation. For what reason I am not certain. Either way it's a gamble. I think we all remember the Keith senior gamble that failed spectacularly.
