MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez is recovering from successful surgery on his left shoulder.
Spaniard Marquez suffered a dislocated shoulder while training at home earlier in the season, and it has popped out on several occasions since then – most notably during qualifying in Valencia.
f4Despite suffering with the injury, Marquez was able to win a fifth MotoGP title in 2018 but will now have a procedure to treat the issue.
New Repsol Honda team-mate Jorge Lorenzo is also recovering from surgery to treat a foot fracture.
Three-time champion Lorenzo, who is replacing retired compatriot Dani Pedrosa for Honda on the grid next year, fractured his foot at Aragon in September and had surgery on 2 weeks ago.
Both riders will now be looking to regain full fitness ahead of the Sepang Test weekend, which begins on February 6.
