Moffi Admits ACL And Meniscus Surgery Hampered His Nice Progress

Last season was a mixed bag for Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi, who says his ACL and meniscus surgery at Nice left him frustrated. The Nigerian forward managed just five Ligue 1 appearances, scoring once, after being sidelined for roughly eight months.

Speaking on Instagram, Moffi reflected, "Getting an ACL and a meniscus surgery has to be top of the list. Those were difficult times." He admitted the road to recovery was tough: "Personally, I accepted it, took it day by day (somedays are frustrating). I had good people around me as well, and my faith helped me a lot." Despite the setbacks, he expressed gratitude to Nice’s staff for their support.



With the surgery behind him, Moffi is now focusing on regaining match sharpness and consistency ahead of the new campaign.

We share Terem Moffi’s sense of frustration at having had his promising season disrupted by serious knee surgery. It takes both mental fortitude and physical resilience to endure eight months on the sidelines, and his openness about the struggle provides insight into the true cost of such injuries.



We believe that Moffi’s gratitude toward Nice’s medical team and staff reflects the importance of a professional and compassionate support system during rehabilitation. That environment can make the difference between a player simply returning and truly reclaiming his previous form.

We feel his honest admission that recovery progresses one day at a time and sometimes leaves you disheartened speaks to the unpredictable nature of healing. It reminds us that a return to top-level performance is never guaranteed, even with talent and hard work.



We affirm our conviction that Moffi, now freed from the physical burden of surgery, possesses the determination needed to reclaim his starting role. As he embarks on full training and match preparation, we stand with him in optimism this challenge could mark the beginning of a stronger, more mature phase in his career.

Did You Know?




ACL injuries often occur from sudden direction changes or hyperextension and are typically accompanied by rapid knee swelling.

ACL and meniscus repairs can be performed in one surgery, reducing scar tissue risk and rehabilitation time.

Moffi spent exactly 247 days sidelined following his knee injury before returning to Nice’s first-team training.

The average ACL recovery timeline ranges between 6 and 9 months, though individual outcomes vary greatly.

Studies show the mental aspect of ACL recovery such as patience and not comparing to others is as critical as the physical rehabilitation.
