Top Three Nigeria Stars Who Failed To Reach Their Full Potential Due To Injuries This Season

Injury is part of football but some injuries are so massive that they pose great threat to players' development.

Some players are prone to injury, while some hardly pick up any major injury throughout a whole season.

As the 2018-19 season is gradually coming to an end, allnigeriasoccer.com has come up with a list of top three Nigeria players who failed to reach their potential throughout the campaign due to injury.

Leon Balogun : The 30-year-old defender is an injury-prone player and that has affected his growth as a footballer.

Balogun didn't enjoy his debut season in England, no thanks to constant injury setbacks.

The former Fortuna Düsseldorf and Mainz 05 defender recently returned to full fitness after weeks on the sidelines and that has been the case throughout the season.

Shehu Abdullahi : The former Kano Pillars defensive midfielder joined Burraspor in 2018 but has failed to hit the ground running due to an injury which kept him out of action for more than three months.

His absence prevented him from laying claim for a permanent spot in the team and that has equally affected his opportunities of reclaiming his place in Gernot Rohr's team.

Tyrone Ebuehi : Benfica right-back Tyrone Ebuehi is the last on the list but he's the player with the most severe injury.
