Super Eagles defender, Troost-Ekong has said his injury isn’t something to be worried about
William Troost-Ekong has said his injury isn’t as bad as first feared after he was stretchered off the pitch in Nigeria’s 2-1 win against Sierra Leone on Thursday night.
The Watford defender copped a groin injury in the 82th minute of the game and was replaced by Leganes’ defender Kenneth Omeruo.
Troost-Ekong has moved to douse tension after the injury, with fears that he might be on the sidelines for months, but the defender proved everybody wrong after he wrote this on his twitter: “First game and first win to set us off on the new AFCON 2023 campaign. Thanks for the messages. I will be back soon,” the defender wrote on his Twitter handle.
It remains to be seen whether Troost-Ekong will be available in the next game of the Super Eagles against Sao Tome and principe on Monday.
But, the availability of the defender won’t be a problem with lot of options in the defense line for the Super Eagles. Omeruo, Leon Balogun, Chidozie Awaziem and Semi Ajayi are the other centre-backs in the team.
