Muniru Sulley undergoes successful surgery on cheekbone injury

Steaua Bucuresti midfielder Muniru Sulley has begun rehabilitation after undergoing successful surgery on a facial injury.

The 23-year-old went under the knife on Tuesday at the Surgery Clinic Oral-Maxillofacial of the Military Emergency Hospital “Dr. Carol Davila.”

Sulley came out worse after he was headed in the face by an Astra Giurgiu player during a Romanian League Cup semi-final second leg two weeks ago.

He had to be rushed to a hospital in Bucharest in an ambulance and was admitted as an emergency case.

The battling midfielder suffered a cheekbone fracture.

Steaua Bucuresti have announced that the player’s recovery will be between 3-4 weeks.

He has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
