Football: blow for Switzerland, Zeki Amdouni tore the ligaments

Hard blow for Zeki Amdouni and the Swiss team! The Geneva striker Zeki Amdouni (24), under contract with the Blackburn Rovers but who had been loaned to Benfica last season, was seriously injured in training.

Amdouni was indeed the victim of a tear of the cruciate ligaments of the knee. He himself announced on his Instagram account that he would be unavailable for a long time. “As you could see I will be absent for a good time, I just wanted to thank you for your messages!”, He wrote. Before concluding: “We are together. I will come back stronger. ”

The striker confirmed information from “Corner Magazine”, who announced that Amdouni was going to be operated in the coming days. Benfica did not want to lift the option he had on Amdouni, the latter was looking for a new European club to bounce back. He will have to hand over his transfer projects until later.

We do not know how long the absence of Amdouni will last, but it is a safe bet that he will not replay this year. Author of 10 goals and 3 assists last season in the Benfica jersey, he will necessarily miss this fall during qualifications for the 2026 World Cup. Murat Yakin would have passed this blow. In 27 appearances in the Swiss team jersey, Amdouni scored 11 goals.
