Rome: Marc Marquez has had successful surgery on his right shoulder following the world champion's crash at the Indonesia MotoGP, his team Ducati said on Monday.

The Spaniard, who secured his seventh top-class title in Japan last month, suffered a fracture and injured ligaments in a crash in Lombok the following week.

"Marc Marquez has undergone a successful operation at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid, Spain," said Ducati.

"The same medical team who had examined him seven days earlier found that the coracoid fracture and ligament damage were not showing sufficient signs of stabilisation after a week of being immobilised.

"Given the risk of residual instability, it was decided to go ahead with surgical stabilisation and repair the acromioclavicular ligaments."
