Getafe midfielder Christantus Uche has undergone successful surgery after suffering a serious knee injury that has ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
The Nigerian international confirmed on Wednesday that he had completed the procedure and shared a photograph of himself as he began what is expected to be a lengthy rehabilitation process.
Uche suffered the injury on 6 August during Getafe’s pre-season friendly against Monaco, following a tackle from Monaco defender Christian Mawissa.
Further medical examinations revealed that the 23-year-old had sustained multiple ligament and meniscus tears in his right knee, with the extent of the damage making surgery necessary.
Following the successful operation, Uche expressed his appreciation on his official Instagram page to the medical team, his representatives, Getafe, his teammates and everyone who has supported him since the setback.
