OH Leuven receives very bad news after a terrible injury to Nathan Opoku – Football News

OH Leuven took on KVC Westerlo on Tuesday evening. The match ended in a draw, but the final score was of little importance to the visiting players afterwards.

Nathan Opoku was allowed to come on ten minutes before the end of the match. He returned from injury and was allowed to make some minutes again.

But after five minutes on the field, disaster struck for the 22-year-old Ghanaian. He got into a duel with Westerlo goalkeeper Nick Gillekens, after which the goalkeeper landed with his full weight on Opoku’s leg.

‘After a duel with Westerlo goalkeeper Nick Gillekens, newly substituted Nathan Opoku suffered a serious injury. The attacker had to be carried off the field on a stretcher and was taken to hospital for further examination,” OH Leuven begins on its website.

The open leg fracture already spoke for itself. The player will be out for a long time. ‘It became clear that Opoku had suffered a double leg fracture. The attacker is still undergoing surgery today. A long rehabilitation awaits Opoku.’
