Tochukwu Nnadi won’t have surgery on suspected ACL knee injury despite ‘risks’ | OneFootball

Tochukwu Nnadi has opted against knee surgery on a serious, suspected ACL injury, despite the risks, as Olympique de Marseille count the cost of last Sunday’s defeat to AS Monaco.

The Nigerian came on at half-time but did not finish the match, leaving with a knee problem. An ACL issue was feared at the time, and the injury is serious with an ACL still suspected after several consultants advised immediate surgery.

"We are aware of the risks. We know that he could feel pain. We know that it won’t be easy, but it is Nnadi’s decision," said his agent, who added that the midfielder "could not abandon OM at such a time." He was speaking to La Provence.

Geoffrey Kondogbia has suffered a muscular injury and, Bruno Genesio has confirmed, will not be fit to face Paris FC this weekend.

With options thin in midfield, Genesio said on Friday that he had tested full-back Ulisses Garcia in the role.
