Well the main concerns would be blood loss during the surgery and infection afterwards. If he made it ok through the surgery then you are over one hurdle. But I'm wondering if it's wise for someone with low platelets playing such a physical sport in the first place! I also agree with Bailie about w and w with RAEBII. The next step would be AML, which is a very bad leukemia. In some people the time to progress is not a very long time. Just a word of caution.

I just badly broke my shoulder, and the surgeon wouldn't touch me with low Hb and ANC, and my platelet count is normal.
