LASK head coach Dietmar Kühbauerr has confirmed that Moses Usor sustained a shoulder injury during their 2-0 defeat to Rapid Wien at the Raiffeisen Arena on Sunday.
The Super Eagles forward was introduced in the second half, replacing Austrian striker Christoph Lang in the 61st minute.
However, Usor was forced off 12 minutes later, with United States striker Samuel Adediran coming on to replace him.
Speaking to the media after the defeat, Kühbauer confirmed the winger's injury but expressed optimism that he would recover quickly.
"Mo has a slight injury to his shoulder joint. I hope it won't take too long," Kühbauer said via Laola.
Usor, who made his Super Eagles debut during the September international break, is now a doubt for LASK's UEFA Champions League clash against Liverpool on Wednesday evening.
The 24-year-old enjoyed a dream debut for Nigeria, scoring in the Super Eagles' 2-1 victory over Madagascar in Uyo.
His injury comes as a major setback for Kühbauer, with LASK set to play eight matches across all competitions over the next four weeks.
The Nigeria international will be hoping to recover quickly and return to action as he looks to maintain his impressive start to the campaign.
