Veloso suffered his injury on December 20th while training on his mountain bike. "I have keep my left arm immobilized until January 4th, which is when I will have it re-examined. I hope all is well after that and can gradually return to training," explained Veloso. The stage nine winner of this year's Vuelta a Espana thinks this will be resolved "very quickly" and will only be a minor setback to his build up for the season. "I have to thank the Hospital de Pontevedra Dominguez for their attention and doing the operation so quickly. Thanks to that, I think everything will be back to normal. I will just have to change my training for the new season a little," he concluded.       comments Follow @Pro_Cycling Tweet Subscribe via RSS or daily email Contact the editor about this article
