Uche suffers patellar contusion after Mawissa's challenge

Christantus Uche had to leave the pitch on a stretcher during Monaco's match against Getafe following a brutal challenge from Mawissa. According to the Spanish club's statement, initial examinations revealed a "contusion of the right patellar bone" caused by the impact suffered during the encounter.

Getafe quickly ruled out a serious injury, though Uche remains pending "further tests to assess the final extent of the injury", as reported by MARCA. If the contusion diagnosis is confirmed, the Nigerian could be available again in the coming days.
