Nikushor Banku will be absent from the University of Craiova for 4 to 6 months

Injured in the Superliga match against Rapid (2-2 draw in Julesti), the Craiova captain will be sidelined for several months, a significant loss for the team coached by Mirel Redoi.

“Nikusor Banku, our captain, needs surgery and a recovery period of 4 to 6 months. As we know him, after 3 months he returned to the field to defend the colors of the University of Craiova.

Needless to say, the whole blue and white breath with him. And let’s not forget that BancOne, injured, refused to leave the field in Giulesti’s match with Rapid.

Sacrifice for the sake of blue and white colors, worthy of the CAPTAIN of Science!”, the University of Craiova reports on Facebook.

Called up by Edi Jordenescu for friendly matches with Slovenia (Cluj-Napoca, November 17, 9:00 p.m.) and the Republic of Moldova (Chisinau, November 20, 8:30 p.m.), Nikushor Banka will be replaced by teammate Bohdan Vateela.

Craiova is in 4th place in the Super League with 31 points (one game less than the leader Farul Constanta). Olteni is ten points behind Hyke Hagi’s team.
