Torino Expect Joel Obi To Be Out Of Action For One Week
Published: August 21, 2015
Torino are optimistic that Joel Obi will be available for selection when they tackle Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A on Sunday, August 30, six days before the Super Eagles face off with Tanzania.
They were boosted by the news that the Nigeria international would have to spend between 5 - 7 days on the sidelines after he underwent magnetic resonance imaging on Thursday.
Tests conducted revealed a functional overload to the semitendinosus muscle of the attacking midfielder’s left thigh.
Joel Obi has been plagued by injuries in the last three years which has limited his appearances in the Serie A to just 9 starts from a possible 114 games.
It is assumed that he failed to make the Super Eagles 2014 World Cup roster after failing to prove his fitness in the training camp prior to the tournament in Brazil.
