Club Brugge midfielder Raphael Onyedika has raised further injury worries for the Super Eagles after he had to leave his team’s Belgian league match.
Onyedika sustained the injury during the Jupiler Pro League clash against Standard Liège yesterday.
The club confirmed his injury when he was substituted in the 23rd minute of the game.
Details regarding the specific nature of Onyedika’s injury have not yet been disclosed by the team.
He now joins Semi Ajayi and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru as the third Super Eagles player to face injury this weekend.
Ajayi was hurt during West Brom’s 2-0 victory over Oxford United, while Dele-Bashiru picked up an ankle injury in Lazio’s goalless draw with Venezia.
These injuries are likely to be a concern for the new Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle as the team prepares for World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe next month.
