Injured Ikechukwu Uche To Undergo MRI On Saturday

In his debut game three months after completing his transfer, Ikechukwu Uche opened his goalscoring account for Mexican club Tigres UANL in their hard fought 2 - 1 win over Isidro Metapán in the CONCACAF Champions League on Friday.

It took the the Nigeria international less than 300 seconds to score his maiden goal for Tigres UANL after replacing Jairo González in the 59th minute and his goal ended up being the match - winner.

On the flip side, Ikechukwu Uche could be set for another spell on the sidelines as he had to leave the pitch in the closing stages of the game at the Estadio Jorge Calero Suárez Landaverde due to a knee injury.

Tigres UANL have announced through official sources that the attacker will undergo an MRI scan on Saturday to evaluate the injury before deciding if it would require surgery.

The former Villarreal, Getafe and Real Zaragoza man ended his 14 - year association with Spanish clubs this summer by penning a three - year contract with Tigres UANL.
