Aaron Gobert has four fractures in his left wrist and hand that will require surgery.

Sue Gobert, mother and manager of the young Australian racer told Roadracingworld.com Saturday morning that Aaron, “has four fractures, quite major, across the left wrist and his left thumb knuckle. He also had some slight bleeding on his brain, but they’re (doctors at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) letting him go today. They just told us to keep a close eye on him in case he starts acting weird, as if that would be easy to tell with ‘Az'”

Sue Gobert said Aaron and his girlfriend Melanie Riley would stay in Milwaukee for the rest of the weekend, take their scheduled flight home to Ontario, California on Monday before flying to Fremont, California to see noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. Arthur Ting on Tuesday, June 10.
