Last July, while he was playing in a particularly intense World Cup round of 16 with the Red Devils, Amadou Onana (25) was stopped dead in his tracks. The verdict was terrible: rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee. A huge setback for the former LOSC player, who has established himself in recent seasons as an indisputable pillar of the Aston Villa midfield, shining through his volume of play on the Premier League pitches.
But as he continues his long rehabilitation this September, far from the pitch and the excitement of the start of the sporting season, the Birmingham club has decided to react with rare elegance. According to our information, the management of the Villans has sealed an agreement to offer a two-year contract extension to its Belgian rock, now linking it to the club until June 2031. A real proof of love and a strong signal sent by the British team, determined to support its international in this physical and mental ordeal. Formalization is imminent.
