Uche undergoes successful surgery after serious knee injury
Getafe's Nigerian striker had surgery in Lyon after tearing his right knee in a friendly against Monaco.
Christantus Uche underwent successful surgery on August 19 in Lyon, as confirmed by Getafe through its social media channels. The operation was necessary following a serious right knee injury suffered on August 6 during a preseason friendly against AS Monaco, when the player had to be stretchered off the pitch after a hard challenge from Mawissa.
A long road to recovery
The Madrid club confirmed days after the incident that the knee injury would rule him out for the entire season. Now, following surgery, Uche begins his rehabilitation process with the support and resources of the club to aid his recovery.
The absence of the Nigerian forward, who had just returned from his loan spell at Crystal Palace, represents a significant blow to BordalĂĄs' project, as the striker was considered one of the most important players for the season ahead.
