Vlad Chiriches will miss 4 months after being injured in a dispute with UTA Arad

Vlad Ciriches was in the starting line-up on Monday in the FCSB’s 2-1 loss against UTA Arad, but the captain of the Romanian national football team was replaced by Siyabong Ngezan in the 77th minute.

He would suffer a rather serious (muscular) injury and Elias Haralambous discussed Chiriches’ problems in the press conference before the game against the University of Craiova.

“Beluce and Shut are ready to join the team tomorrow. The doctors checked him (about Vlad Chirichesh – no), the first diagnosis was that he will miss 3-4 months, but this week he will take tests again, I think he will miss for a long time.

I hope he can come back healthy and help the team as soon as possible. After the defeat, we are not happy, but this is football. It was our first defeat, we have to find ways to handle everything as best as possible.

For me, misses are misses, I don’t want to talk about it, we have a good squad and good players, I don’t want to talk about footballers who won’t play, tomorrow we will use the best first 11 we have available.” – said the coach of the FCSB team, reports Digi Sport.
