The surgery of Elkhan Samadov, President of the Professional Football League (PFL), who had an accident on the road to Khankendi city, has been postponed, and the recovery process will continue.
PFL's Media and Marketing Director Sanan Abdullayev stated this in an interview with "Report".
He said that the head of the organization's condition is currently assessed as good:
"Elkhan Samadov's treatment continues. He undergoes physiotherapy several times a week. His condition is good. However, the doctors advised not to rush the processes and to be a little more patient. Yes, he was supposed to have surgery in May. However, it was considered appropriate for him to wait a little longer and continue the recovery process. The doctors will determine the time of the operation and inform us."
It should be noted that the incident occurred on December 16, 2023, on the section of the Yevlakh-Aghdam-Lachin road passing through the Aghdam region. A Mercedes Vito driven by Baku resident Rasim Gafarli lost control while driving towards Khankendi city and crashed into a road sign.

After the accident, E. Samadov underwent surgery several times.
