"The 'Newcastle United' team, fighting for a place in the top ten of the 'Premier League', will have to finish the season without Christian Atsu.
The footballer from Ghana was lying on the operating table, where he underwent surgery on his knee. The footballer will miss the remaining three 'Newcastle' matches.
The footballer last played on April 7, when his team lost 1-2 to 'Leicester City'.
'Atsu underwent surgery so that he would be ready for the next season. It wasn't a big problem, but he felt discomfort and we needed to fix this problem now. We had to make sure he was ready for the next season,' said 'Newcastle' coach Rafa Benitez.
The 26-year-old footballer scored 2 goals and made 2 assists in 28 matches in the 'Premier League' this season."
