Onana sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during the first half of Belgium's 4-1 last-16 victory against the USA, an injury that typically requires at least six months for recovery. The 24-year-old's knee buckled without opponent contact, and he was later seen on crutches and wearing a knee brace after being substituted. In the match, Belgium secured a 4-1 win over the USA in Seattle, with Charles De Ketelaere scoring twice, and Hans Vanaken and Romelu Lukaku adding further goals. This victory sends Belgium into the World Cup quarter-finals for the third time in four tournaments, where they are set to face European champions Spain in Los Angeles.
