Obinna Nwobodo Thanks NFF For Footing Medical Bills

Once again, Nigeria Under 20 international Obinna Nwobodo has thanked the Nigeria Football Federation for footing his medical bills.

He has just returned from Qatar, where he underwent surgery at Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital in Doha to repair cruciate ligament.

It would be recalled that the Enugu Rangers youngster was not picked for the Fifa Under 20 World Cup in New Zealand after he got injured in the final of the African Youth Championship against Senegal.

“I was to say a very big ‘Thank You’ to the NFF for the efforts made concerning my surgery” Nwobodo told thenff.com

“I want to use this opportunity to tell the world that the story about NFF abandoning injured players is untrue.

“I was well taken –care of in Qatar and the doctors were wonderful.”

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Federation has set the wheels in motion with regards to the treatment of Rivers Angels fullback Gloria Ofoegbu, who picked up a career - threatening injury at the 2014 AWC.
