The WORST News Possible For Rohr, Super Eagles Fans As Elche Provide Update On Uzoho
Published: November 05, 2018Elche goalkeeper Francis Uzoho will not be permitted to link up with the Nigeria National Team players at their get-together in Asaba next week after suffering a serious injury in the second half of his side's 5-1 loss to Cadiz on Sunday.
It would be recalled that Uzoho was forced to leave the pitch on a stretcher after suffering a concussion.
This morning, he was subjected to additional medical tests when the team returned to Elche and the test results have confirmed that the goalkeeper will spend at least four weeks on the sidelines.
Uzoho underwent radiological tests at the Tesla Clinic and it was determined that the player has a fracture of the seventh costal arch after suffering a heavy blow to the ribs in yesterday's game.
Apart from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa, the Deportivo de La Coruña loanee will not be in between the pipes when Elche face Las Palmas, Alcorcón, Albacete and Córdoba in the Spanish Segunda División.
Chippa United's Daniel Akpeyi and the inactive Enyimba goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa are the two other goalkeepers in the Nigeria squad to face South Africa on November 17.
