Nigeria Sweat On Fitness Of Isaac Success Ahead WCQ As Striker Suffers Injury Relapse
Watford striker Isaac Success will undergo a late fitness test ahead of
Saturday’s Premier League clash against Swansea City at the Liberty
Stadium.<br /><br />The Hornets number ten has not participated in full
training all through this week after sustaining a muscle injury versus
Middlesbrough on his full debut for the Vicarage Road outfit. <br /><br />“After I substituted him, the physio was telling me during the game he was hurting,” coach Walter Mazzarri stated. <br /><br />“After
the 90 minutes, and back in the dressing room, I had a look at him and
the physio confirmed he could not train because of a muscle problem. <br /><br />“He hasn’t been training regularly (all season) because of his muscle problems.”<br /><br />Because
of this injury setback, it remains unclear if Super Eagles manager Rohr
would include Success in his roster for the World Cup qualifier against
Algeria, with the German expected to announce his squad in the next one
week. <br /><br />The former Granada star was poised to make his senior
debut against Zambia earlier this month but had to pull out of the
Nigeria squad due to injury. <br /><br />Igho Kingsley
