Belgium’s Amadou Onana will miss the remainder of the World Cup after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during his country’s last-16 win over co-hosts the United States, the Belgian Football Federation announced on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Aston Villa midfielder was forced off early in Belgium’s 4-1 victory over the US in Seattle on Monday.
“Unfortunately, the medical examinations have confirmed that Amadou has suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. This is devastating news, both for him personally and for the team,” Belgium team doctor Brahim Hacene said in a statement.
