Anthonia cries for help
The young athlete, via a statement issued on social media, also gave details of how she has been in pain for a year.
According to her, "On November 23rd 2022, during a friendly game with the FCT coaches in Area 3 pitch Abuja. I was a Naija Ratels player, 20 minutes to the game, I went in for a tackle and twisted my left knee. I was taken off the pitch on a stretcher, and immediately my knee became swollen. I was told to rest it for a while, everyone thought it was a normal knee knock that needed rest..
)
" A few days later, I started feeling some bad pain in my knee. I did an X-ray and no issue was seen on the X-ray, the doc administered some drugs and I thought I’d be fine as long as I rest the leg.
I went home for Christmas and resumed back in January only to realize that the club has demoted me to the junior team in Makurdi and reduced my salary without providing me with any basic medical care regarding my knee injury. I sent series of messages to the Chairman of the club @FcRatels and I didn’t get any response till now..
"I left Markurdi in August 2023 and went for another X-ray in Nisa premier hospital Abuja and the orthopedic doc advised me to do MRI scan.. I did the scan in Abuad hospital Ado Ekiti. The result came out and it was discovered I had torn my ACL (Anterior cruciate ligament) and I need surgery to fix it immediately so I can play football again.
