Allnigeriasoccer.com has obtained an exclusive picture of former Watford striker Odion Ighalo few hours after he jetted into Atlanta, Georgia, United States on Saturday.

The Nigeria international had been summoned for the international matches against Algeria and Argentina but had to withdraw from the pool after spraining his knee against Chongqing Lifan last weekend.

It is understood that Ighalo is not in America receiving treatment but was forced to start his vacation earlier than planned due to the injury he sustained.

Former Nigeria U23 invitee and Slavia Sofia left-back Victor Deniran welcomed Ighalo to Buckhead in Atlanta (see photo).

Ighalo finished the just concluded Chinese Super League season as Changchun Yatai's top scorer with 15 goals from 27 appearances.

The striker will be out of action for ten to fifteen days.
