Below is the statement issued by Anthonia
On November 23rd 2022, during a friendly game with the FCT coaches in Area 3 pitch Abuja. I was a Naija Ratels player, 20 mins 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..
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.
I’ve been in pain for the past 1 year, it got to a point that I started walking with crutches and I take pain-relieving meds everyday and I wear knee brace all the time. I can’t do any training or walk long distance cause of the injury.
I know injuries are inevitable in sport and I’m so sad and scared but ready to get this over with. I’ve really struggled with asking for help and putting this story out there but honestly I’m not financially and mentally capable of doing this alone without y’all help.
The estimated cost for the treatment and surgery is about 5-6million. I’ll be very grateful for any help and donation in whatever limit
