Italian club Sampdoria has confirmed that Dream Team VI defender, Stanley Amuzie, ruptured his cruciate ligament in a CAF Championship qualifier in Congo and will be out for nine months.
Initial scans in Abuja revealed that the talented wingback, who is in Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh’s immediate plans, damaged his cruciate ligament by the time he was pulled out of the second leg qualifier against Congo in Pointe Noire, africanFootball.com reports.
The injury forced him to be replaced by Chima Akas after only 25 minutes of action.
“Sampdoria has confirmed initial findings that Amuzie ruptured his cruciate ligament, it’s a similar injury a player like Osaze (Odemwingie) suffered last season at Stoke City,” a top official told africanFootball.com
“As a result of this, the player will be out for a minimum of nine months, which will include his rehabilitation after surgery.”
