Alert with Uche! The injury could be serious
The moment that defined the friendly came in the final stretch and left Coliseum waiting to learn the physical condition of Christantus Uche. The Nigerian player had to leave the pitch on a stretcher after a very hard challenge by Christian Mawissa.
Getafe CF
The pre-season match between the Getafe and AS Mónaco was decided in the 78th minute by an incident that completely changed the mood of the game. Mawissa threw himself to the ground with his studs showing and hit Uche's shin area full on, with his right leg planted on the grass at the moment of impact.
The referee reacted immediately and showed the straight red to the player from the Monegasque side. The sporting punishment was clear, but the concern in the blue-and-white dugout focused from the very first moment on the condition of the Nigerian midfielder.
Awaiting medical tests
The replay of the incident left a very worrying image, with the right knee of Uche giving way after the blow and bending in an unnatural way. The player lay on the pitch, unable to get up, while the medical staff rushed in to attend to him.
Minutes later, the Getafe player was taken off on a stretcher, visibly in pain, as his teammates and the coaching staff led by José Bordalás fell silent.
The Madrid club is now waiting for the medical and radiological tests that will be carried out once the swelling in the affected area goes down. Those examinations will determine the true extent of the injury, although the first impressions within the blue-and-white camp point to a delicate situation.
