Ghanaian midfielder Abu Francis finds himself in a frustrating period of inactivity due to a meniscus tear he sustained.
This injury occurred during the triumphant 1-0 match against Standard Liège in the Belgian Pro League last Saturday.
Just a season ago, Abu Francis was acquired by Cercle Brugge for a substantial 1 million euros. Despite his young age of 22, he swiftly formed a strong bond with the club and managed to ascend within its ranks, ultimately becoming a pivotal player.
Throughout this season, Francis played a crucial role in contributing to Cercle's impressive start. Unfortunately, a pivotal moment arrived during the recent encounter with Standard.
A mere 10 minutes into the game, a stroke of bad luck led to a meniscus tear for Francis. This injury has sidelined him, with Cercle Brugge estimating a recovery period of approximately six months.
Sharing their sentiments on Instagram, Cercle Brugge expressed, "Abu Francis suffered a tear in his meniscus on Saturday and has been sidelined for about 6 months. A victim, especially for @afrancis.8 himself. The entire Cercle family wishes Abu a lot of courage and success during his revalidation."
