JOSEPH YOBO Rubbishes Reports Regarding Injury
Published: October 25, 2012
According to goal.com, Eagles skipper Joseph Yobo has dismissed local media reports that he could miss the African Cup of Nations because of a knee injury that would require surgery.
''I can tell anybody that cares to listen that I don’t have a cruciate ligament injury that requires surgery of any kind. What happened is that I had a little problem on my knee which I am taking precautions on.
''But it doesn’t require surgery like it was reported in a local website. I only need to calm down for the swelling to come down,'' said Yobo to goal.com.
He went further: ''I have a game on Monday which the orthomedic surgeon even said I can play if I want to. But I don’t want to rush back to play. I want to take my time before starting to play.''
The central defender was omitted from the Fenerbahce squad which played Cypriot club AEL Limassol on Thursday in the group stage of the Europa League after failing a late fitness test.
