Cal Crutchlow is hoping to be fཧit for this weekend's Misano MotoGP despite a knife-cut causing tendon damage to the index finger on his lef🌄t hand.

The LCR Honda MotoGP rider su♕ffered the injury in an accident at his training base in Italy, on Sunday.

This morning he was admitted to Pistoia Hospital for surgery to reattach the tendon, then travelled to the Parma headquarters of the Clinica Mobile, where he was evaluated by Dr. M🏅ichele Zasa and Dr. Luc꧃a Guardoli.

Due t💟o the location of the injury, it was decided to create a custom-made splint in cooperation with hand specialist Dr. Silvio Tocco.

"Unfortunately, I sliced my finger with a knife yesterday and it severed the 𝓰tendon on my left index fingౠer," Crutchlow explained.

"I slept on it, but as the bleeding continued this morning, I went to the Emergency Room at Pistoia Hospital, where I 🌠was examined by Dr. Riccardo Simonti who🍸 discovered that the tendon was severed.

"I thဣen had an operation on my finger to reattach the tendon a🦂nd then stitch it all back up.

“I was taken care of very well at the hospital, they did a good job. Since then I visited a hand specialist in Parma who made me a splint for the finger to give me every opportunity to ride ♐at my best this weekend for the San Marino GP.

"I am sure ღit will be difficult, but I will try one hundred percent as always. Let’s see how it goes.”

Movistar Yamaha's Valentino Ro𝓰ssi is already confirmed as missing the Misano round due to injury.
