Renowned figure skater Evgeny Plushchenko is facing serious health problems. Old sports injuries have flared up again. Following a medical examination in Israel, the skater is forced to stay in the country to undergo a course of treatment.

Evgeny shared this news on his social media page.

«Вот такие были у меня глаза когда огласили мои проблемы, остаюсь на неделю на починку в Израиле» (That was the look on my face when my problems were announced; I am staying for a week in Israel for repairs), Plushchenko wrote under the posted photo.

It is worth remembering that several years ago, the skater was diagnosed with serious back problems, which apparently have flared up again.
