Achilles Injury Sidelines Super Eagles’ Igoh Ogbu Ahead of Portugal Friendly
Nigeria will be without centre-back Igoh Ogbu for their international friendly against Portugal after he suffered an Achilles tendon injury in training. The Super Eagles media officer confirmed that Ogbu sustained the injury during Saturday’s session in Leiria. Medical staff suspect a rupture of his left Achilles tendon, and he will return to his club, Slavia Prague, for treatment and rehabilitation. Ogbu, 26, featured at the Unity Cup last month and started Nigeria’s 2-2 draw with Poland before being substituted at halftime. Nigeria face Portugal at the Estádio Municipal Dr. Magalhães Pessoa this Wednesday.
