The 19-year-old attacker will be completely rested from all sporting activities for about four to six weeks and will continue his rehabilitation process in India.
“Kuru will now continue his recovery and early stages of rehabilitation at home and the club would like to wish him a speedy recovery,” said Juan Anton de Salas, International Business Manager of Villarreal.
