Correa faces lengthy rehab after 17-hour op

LONDON • Formula Two driver Juan Manuel Correa has spoken publicly for the first time since he suffered severe leg injuries in an accident in Belgium in August that killed French racer Anthoine Hubert.

The Ecuadorian-American underwent 17 hours of surgery in London last Sunday and would be able to leave the hospital in six weeks' time.

However, he will face a year of physical therapy and rehabilitation to try and regain full use of his right leg, with Correa admitting that the recovery of his leg "is still quite uncertain".
