Izunna Uzochukwu will have to undergo meniscus surgery in the coming days and this will definitely rule him out of action for the rest of the season.

The defensive midfielder is one of the first names on manager Glen Riddersholm’s team sheet, therefore, his absence is a big blow to FC Midtjylland in their bid to win the Superliga for the first time in their history.

“He will not have the chance to play in the final games. In recent seasons, he has been a key player in FC Midtjylland.

“He is passionate about the club and of course sorry that he is not able to help the team the rest of the spring,” says manager Glen Riddersholm to the official website of FCM.

With 10 matches remaining before the conclusion of the championship, FCM are only 2 points ahead of nearest challengers Aalborg.
