🚑 Uche misses the season after a brutal tackle in a friendly

It looked very bad in the images and, as confirmed by Marca and As, Christantus Uche says goodbye to the season due to a serious injury to his right knee.

The player will have to undergo surgery, even though the initial medical assessments, with the leg still swollen, did not detect how serious the case was.

Uche has suffered multiple tears in his right knee due to a brutal challenge from Mawissa (Monaco), crucially affecting both the ligaments and the menisci.

Pending whatever the transfer market might have brought, this was the season Uche had marked as key to returning to his best level with Getafe. Now it has been cut short abruptly.
