Albacete's Ghanaian striker suffered anterior cruciate ligament rupture in season opener against Las Palmas.
Worst fears confirmed for Albacete. Ghanaian forward Samu Obeng suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the season opener against Las Palmas at Gran Canaria stadium, the club confirmed. The injury occurred early in the second half following "an ugly twist in his knee," as described by the Castilla-La Mancha side.
Club medics also detected meniscal damage alongside the ACL tear.
A significant blow
Obeng, 29, joined Albacete in the previous winter transfer window and made 19 appearances with 3 goals. He will miss almost the entire season due to injury, according to Mundo Deportivo, dealing a heavy blow to the team's attacking options right as the campaign was getting underway.
