Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee while playing for Belgium at the World Cup.
The 24-year-old was substituted 21 minutes into his side’s 4-1 win over the United States in the last 16.
Onana had gone down clutching his right knee after trying to get to the ball before Christian Pulisic.
After being treated on the pitch he limped off and was later seen on crutches and wearing a knee brace.
In a statement, Belgium team doctor Brahim Hacene said the outcome was “devastating news”.
