David Nalbandian is in Argentina, in his hometown Cordoba, to begin the rehabilitation process after undergoing hip surgery, which will keep him sidelined for the rest of this season.
Sources close to Nalbandian confirmed to Telam yesterday that he is in Cordoba, where he will begin rehabilitation.
After having the stitches from the operation taken out last Friday, the Argentine tennis player will be now be doing rehabilitation together with his fitness coach/physiotherapist Diego Rodriguez.
The entire operative and postoperative process was supervised by his personal physician, Dr. Angel Ruiz-Cotorro, who will also monitor the rehabilitation.
Nalbandian had hip surgery on May 13th at the Cima clinic in Barcelona.
The Argentine tennis player is unlikely to make a comeback during this season and will probably make a fresh start at playing on the circuit with a protected ranking, next year.
Update
It's now also on the official site, even in the English version. David already returned to Cordoba on Monday after the stitches were taken out earlier than expected. The official site adds that David was "happy to be home again". - No doubt about that.

Happy homecoming, David! It's good to be surrounded by much loved and familiar things while recovering.
Hello everybody, a french journalist has just said that David would be out during 2 or 3 month...he seems optimist..he said that during Acasuso/Federer, I did not understand why ??? It's strange to talk about David during RG...
That's a bit too optimistic, I think. The minimum pause seems to be four months. But even the Argentine press has by now accepted that David will, in all probability, be out for the rest of the season.
And never mind what commentators say...
Last week during the WTC, a German commentator told his viewers that David 1) almost got into a fistfight with Delpo at Mar Del Plata, 2) is still "enemies" with Delpo, 3) played the first round of DC this year and 4) was playing the exho in Paris that week...
That's an extreme example, of course. But it shows you how much research commentators sometimes do - zero.
I watched the Federer/Acasuso match as well, and McEnroe mentioned David in a similar manner that the German journalist and concluded his "analysis" by stating that David had "interpersonal problems." Talking about the pot calling the kettle black....
See LAVOZ of today, there are several articles about David with pictures of him working with Diego and doing some bicycle. He seems to be in good shape
