Super Eagles Midfielder Dispels Injury Fears Ahead Of WCQ Vs Algeria
Published: October 20, 2017
Hapoel Beer Sheva midfielder John Ogu has dispelled concerns about his fitness, ahead of Nigeria's World Cup qualifier against Algeria on November 10.
The number 30 subbed out on the half-hour mark in Thursday night's Europa League clash between the Israeli champions and Steaua Bucharest after picking up an injury, but claims to have overcome the pain he felt.
Ogu felt pain in the quadriceps in the 23rd minute and played through the pain barrier for seven minutes before signalling to the bench that he should be substituted.
''Great spirit and fight tonight . Sad we lost but Trust to bounce back from tonight’s loss. I promise to be ready for Monday’s important game,'' said John Ogu via Twitter.
Hapoel Beer Sheva medics will continue to observe the Nigerian midfielder before giving him the all-clear to be involved in the vital league match with Maccabi Tel Aviv on Monday, October 23.
Ogu was on the bench for the World Cup qualifiers against Zambia, Algeria and Cameroon (2).
