Real Zaragoza's Nigeria international striker, Ikechukwu Uche has been told he can play football again after undergoing two knee operations by his club doctors.
The 27-year-old former Getafe striker who picked up the injury during his second league match with Spanish Club Real Zaragoza in September 2009 is nearing match fitness having fully recovered from a second operation he underwent in July 2010.
Fondly called The Chief by admirers, Ikechukwu made his international debut for Nigeria's Super Eagles in 2007 and has spent most of his career playing in Spain. He moved to Zaragoza from another Spanish side, Getafe, on a four-year contract worth $4m.
His nagging injury cost Uche a place in the Super Eagles squad for the African Cup of Nations in Angola and the subsequent World Cup in South Africa where the team performed below par. It would be recalled that In only his second match, a 1–4 loss at Sevilla FC, he suffered a severe knee injury, going on to miss seven months.
Uche recovered fully for Zaragoza's 2010–11 pre-season; however, he suffered another knee injury, ruled out for another six months.
