Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the president of the FCSB Administrative Council, explained the situation of Siyabonga Ngezana (28, central defender).
Ngezana has not played for FCSB in the last 6 games, and the champion's official explained that the stopper has a meniscus problem, which can only be solved by surgery.
It's just that the footballer refuses to have the operation, even though it was explained to him that he will no longer be used if he doesn't do it.
Mihai Stoica: “Ngesana will not play another second if he does not undergo surgery”
“Dawa is training normally. Ngezana is still taking time, he is still hoping to escape the operation. If he doesn't understand, we have no way to force him. He is wasting time, it's his problem. For me, Ngezana's presence at the World Cup is totally compromised. I explained very clearly: he won't play a second with us if he doesn't have surgery.
He has a meniscus injury. It cannot be treated by working out in the gym. Not only the medical staff explained to him, but also us, even the teammates. He thinks he will solve it that way. It's a unique case since I've been in football. I also explained to him: you are old, you have never been injured like this, but you have no other chance, what can you do? If someone gives a solution, we do it.

It's the last problem Gigi faces, that he loses 200,000 euros if he doesn't go to the World Cup. We wanted Ngezana fit to play for us”, said Mihai Stoica, on the show “Fotbal Show”, from Prima Sport.
