Nikušor Banku seriously injured his knee in November during a match in Giulietta between Rapid and Universitatea Craiova and will miss a long time after the operation.

The season is over for Nikushor Bank

Even if the operation was successful and the recovery has already begun, the captain of the University of Craiova will not risk going out at the end of this season, he will wait for the summer training, reports Digisport.

“Nikusor Bank will be ready in April-May. To protect him, we’ll wait until he has summer camp. If we also solve the left-back issue, because we don’t have a backup in Vateela, we think it was a very good transfer campaign,” said owner Mihai Rotaru at the Pro Arena.

Craiova University may lose three players

Craiova’s leaders have further cause for concern after Bohdan Vatejelu, the other left-back in the squad, has entered the final six months of his contract and can sign with any club, after talks over a possible extension have not been completed, writes About sports.

Two more defenders who completed their commitments in the summer and can now sign for free are Paul Papp and Valerika Gehmann.
