Amadou Onana, the 24-year-old Aston Villa and Belgium midfielder, suffered a serious injury during the World Cup Round of 16 match against the United States. The Athletic reports that he has torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), an injury expected to sideline him for approximately 7 to 8 months.
Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana faces a long spell on the sidelines after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament during Belgium’s victory over the United States on Monday.
This is a major blow for Belgium and Aston Villa, as well as for the player himself, of course. It is now confirmed that Onana will miss the UEFA Super Cup match against Paris Saint-Germain on August 12. This is the first significant absence, though others may follow—notably due to post-World Cup holidays. In any case, we wish Onana strength and a speedy recovery.
