Morante de La Puebla is discharged, travels to Portugal, and plans to reappear in Malaga.

Morante de La Puebla did not spend the night in the hospital where he was taken after suffering a serious goring during his first bullfight in Pontevedra . The Sevillian bullfighter requested voluntary discharge despite the severity of the wound, which traveled 10 centimeters in his right thigh.

The maestro, in a state of grace, in full swing since his comeback at the beginning of this spring, a star of the summer season, asked to go home after being treated at the Quirónsalud Miguel Domínguez Hospital in Pontevedra . According to this newspaper, Morante remained under observation for only a few hours, but was discharged that night and transferred to his hotel, from where he left for Seville this morning.

On his return, everything seems to indicate that the bullfighter from La Puebla, accompanied by his manager Pedro Jorge Marques , will stop in Portugal, the bullfighter's refuge during his convalescence from the dissociative disorder he suffers from .

Morante de La Puebla, who had a bullfighter's tail cut in Marbella last Friday, plans to return to the ring as soon as possible. As long as his health allows. But his courage leads him to assure us that he will be there on August 18th for the first of his two afternoons at the Málaga Fair .

Everything will depend on the progress of the wound and the high risk of infection. "I found a dirty wound, heavily contaminated by sand, which was generously washed," the head surgeon at the Pontevedra bullring explained to ABC this morning, where he received emergency care—cleaning, antibiotics, and drainage—before being evacuated to the Quirón.

The information provided to the surgeon by the bullfighter's representative confirms that Morante had a good night and was fever-free . Even so, the doctor's recommendation is to maintain extreme vigilance and perform an examination before removing the drain: "The risk of infection is very significant, given the contamination of the wound," he confirmed.
