Rooney says nose surgery addressed breathing problems after two breaks
Wayne Rooney says he underwent surgery on his nose to resolve breathing difficulties after breaking it twice. The former footballer also rejected suggestions that he had used weight-loss injections, according to a report by Punch Nigeria, which provided no further details about when the procedure took place or the circumstances of the injuries.
Wayne Rooney has said he underwent surgery on his nose because he was having difficulty breathing after breaking it twice. The former footballer’s explanation was reported by Punch Nigeria. The available report describes the procedure as a nose job intended to address the breathing problems linked to the previous injuries.
Rooney also denied using weight-loss injections. The report did not provide further details about the claims he was responding to, nor did it include a statement from a medical professional. No information was provided about the date of the operation, where it took place or how the two nose injuries occurred.
The report also did not give details of Rooney’s current health or recovery. Rooney’s comments therefore address two points: his stated medical reason for having the procedure and his denial that weight-loss injections were involved. Punch Nigeria did not report any additional evidence or reaction connected with either issue.
