Initially the problem seemed minor, but the MRI yesterday revealed an injury to the meniscus with involvement of the medial ligament.
The thirty-seven, the only man to have won more 100 podium finishes in the World Cup, will be worked in a private clinic in Helsinki on Friday August 8.
It is not still unclear the duration of convalescence. Ahonen, however, stated that at best could go jump already in the second half August, however, proving to be rather quiet about the status of your knee.
Finland will its debut in the Summer Grand Prix in Einsiedeln led by Anssi Koivuranta, winner of both internal competitions played in Lahti at the weekend.
