Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana sustains an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during the World Cup. Multiple outlets report that Onana, 24, is forced off early in Belgium’s last-16 match against the United States. The injury occurs in the first half, with Onana replaced in the 21st minute, according to reports. Belgium’s victory over the USA is played at the last-16 stage of the tournament, and Onana’s exit leaves him sidelined with a significant knee problem. The Athletic and other outlets describe the issue as a torn ACL, indicating a serious injury and an extended recovery period. As Onana is also an Aston Villa player, the setback is expected to affect his availability for club duties after the tournament. The reports agree on the match, timing, and the nature of the injury, but do not provide additional medical details such as surgery plans or a specific return date.
