Famous figure skater Evgeny Plushchenko is facing serious health problems. Old sports injuries have flared up again. Following a medical examination conducted 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» (This is how I looked when my problems were revealed; I am staying for a week in Israel for repairs), Plushchenko wrote under the posted photograph.

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