OGUCHI ONYEWU has picked up an injury during the spell at United States with his national team on Wednesday, and the assumption is being ruled out to play for few months.
At the American capital, Washington DC. – USA and Costa Rica faced off. The final result was 2-2, but the big story of the night is Onyewu’s injury, which rules him out for months.
The central defender fender Oguchi Onyewu tore his patella bone away from the position where it normally rests on top of the knee joint. This kind of injury brings a lot of damage and pain when the knee is extended.

As well as the agonizing pain, the player will have to rest and be out of action for at least 3, 4 months, as this kind of injury takes much time to recover.
Late in the match, the 27-years-old was taking a step backward for a strange reason when the ball of Costa Rica was in the sky looking for a header. The player took a step back, suddenly felt the pain and went off the field.
In this time, USA coach Bob Bradley used all the available subs. The referee stopped the match and called to the medical assistance right away, which drove the player off the pitch to get an immediate medical help.
USA stayed with 10-men, and despite did all the subs, found the late equalizer. A big lost for Milan, despite Oguchi didn’t play so much this season, but this put Milan with two CBs sidelined.
According to Milan Channel, Daniele Bonera, who was suppose to get back to action in those days, will be sidelined until the end of the season as groin injury is much more serious than expected.
