Sivasspor manager Roberto Carlos will not field former Nigeria youth international Macauley Chrisantus when his side tackles Gaziantepspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.

The summer acquisition is expected to spend at least three weeks on the sidelines due to a thigh muscle injury .

Macauley Chrisantus, Golden Shoe winner at the 2007 Fifa Under 17 World Cup, penned a three - year deal with Sivasspor last month.

The 24 - year - old, who has started rehabilitation, is expected to miss games against Gaziantepspor and Akhisar Belediyespor.

Last season, he played for Spanish Las Palmas, and scored 8 goals in 25 Segunda Division matches.
