Uche suffers serious knee injury against Monaco

Drama for Getafe in their preseason friendly against Monaco (1-0). Christantus Uche, the club's most important player after returning from his loan at Crystal Palace, suffered a heavy tackle from Christian Mawissa in the 88th minute that caused a clear knee twist to his right leg. The Nigerian left the pitch badly affected and the club now awaits medical test results to determine the severity of the injury.

The challenge was so violent that Monaco finished the match with ten men following Mawissa's red card. Paris Brunner scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot. According to Mundo Deportivo, Getafe have two wins, one draw and two defeats in their preseason campaign, while former Barcelona player Ansu Fati did not play a single minute.
