Etebo Joins Onyekuru, Shehu, Obi In Super Eagles Injury Club Ahead Of AFCONQ Vs South Africa
Published: October 23, 2018Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Oghenekaro Etebo will
not be available for selection when Stoke City face Sheffield United at
Bramall Lane in the EFL Championship on Tuesday, October 23.
The
Potters number eight started as a holding midfielder along with
Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi in the two Africa Cup of Nations
qualifiers against Libya in Uyo and Sfax.
Medical
tests carried out after he returned to the United Kingdom last week
revealed that he suffered a hamstring injury while on international
duty.
Etebo does not want to rush himself back from the injury and has been undergoing light training.
He
joins the queue for the Super Eagles treatment room behind Chievo
Verona's Joel Obi, Bursaspor's Abdullahi Shehu and Galatasaray's Henry
Onyekuru ahead of next month's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against
South Africa.
Obi has not played for The
Flying Donkeys for a month due to a knee discomfort, Shehu suffered a
muscle contraption in the quadriceps on his right leg which led to his
substitution after 18 minutes against Libya in Uyo while Onyekuru faces
at least one month on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile,
it is not all bad news as Trabzonspor's Eddy Onazi was cleared to suit
up for the Turkish club in yesterday's game against Erzurumspor after
pulling out of the Nigeria squad for the games against the Mediterranean
Knights.
In addition, Chelsea loanee
Kenneth Omeruo is expected to fully recover before CD Leganes upcoming
La Liga match against Levante.
