Getafe CF attacking midfielder Christantus Uche has been nominated for the best La Liga U23 player of the month for February but faces stiff competition from Barcelona star Lamine Yamal and few others, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
LaLiga has unveiled its nominations for the prestigious monthly awards with Getafe CF represented in multiple categories which are occupied by Nigerian sensation Uche and head coach Bordalás. This recognition stems from an exceptional February, a period marked by impressive performances and positive results.
The team secured two crucial away victories, demonstrating resilience and tactical prowess against both Vitoria and Girona with Uche playing starring roles in all. Additionally, a hard-fought draw at home against Sevilla FC further solidified the team's strong form.
The Nigerian star who has been a pivotal figure for José Bordalás as he is also nominated in the best coach category will do battle with other worthy nominees which includes Valencia Javi Guerra, Real Betis Jesús Rodríguez and Barcelona's Lamine Yamal.
