As reported by the official website of Volyn Lutsk, Babatunde Michael has been ruled out of action for the rest of this year.

The news will come as a big blow to manager Vitaliy Kvartsyanyi as the Nigeria international is one of the key players in the squad.

Babatunde Michael sustained a shoulder injury in the 2 - 0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk last Friday, and has not been able to train at full strength.

It is expected that if the winger’s rehabilitation goes according to plan, his next game in the championship would be against Dnipro at the end of February 2014.

The 20 - year - old has recorded 2 goals in 10 appearances this season.
