Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Porto youth - teamer Ezeh Chidera will spend the next three weeks on the sidelines.

The 16 - year - old pulled a hamstring during the Flying Eagles 4 - 1 victory over Tanzania in an African Youth Championship qualifier.

Since then, the attacking midfielder has started his rehabilitation, and assuming there is no setback, he will resume full training sometime in the middle of next month.

Against Tanzania, Ezeh Chidera was introduced in the 62nd minute and opened his goal account for the Under 20 National Team seven minutes later.

Nigeria will face Lesotho in the third qualifying round, with the winner advancing to the African Youth Championship scheduled for next year.
