Christantus Uche, a footballer for Getafe, will miss the entire season due to multiple tears in his knee. According to reports, the injuries occurred following a challenge by Mawissa during a friendly match held in Monaco.

The 23-year-old player had been loaned to Crystal Palace last season, which limited his coach José Bordalás's options to include him in the squad. Uche's absence is a significant blow for the coach, who has already had to manage the absence of this star in a season where he successfully qualified Getafe for the Conference League.
