It looked very bad in the images, and now Getafe have confirmed that Christantus Uche will miss the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury. The player suffered multiple tears in his right knee as a result of a brutal challenge by Mawissa (Monaco), critically affecting both the ligaments and the menisci.
The initial medical assessments, with the leg still swollen, did not detect how serious the case was initially. Uche will have to undergo surgery due to this severe injury.

Getafe's Support
"At Getafe CF, led by our president Ángel Torres, we want to send all our love, support and strength to our player, knowing that he is an example of professionalism and hard work, trusting that the recovery process will be completed successfully, as we all hope.
The club will be by his side, supporting him through every stage and placing at his disposal all the medical and human resources necessary to face this period in the best possible way.
Stay strong, Uche! WE ARE WITH YOU," the Madrid club explained in a statement.
Pending whatever the transfer market might bring, this was the season Uche had marked out as crucial to returning to his best level with Getafe. Now it has been cut short abruptly.
