“I had problem with meniscus,” said SAMARA 40 mins after the procedure. “ It was so painful before it. I worried so much, I could not sleep. I was so lucky doctors scheduled the intervention immediately in Constanta.”

 

SAMARA played last week as a member of the national team in the European Teams Championships Qualifications against Netherlands and then in Metz, Champions League match.
