Super Eagles defender Igoh Ogbu has undergone Achilles tendon surgery and is expected to be sidelined for around three months. Multiple outlets report that the procedure follows an injury Ogbu sustained on international duty ahead of Nigeria’s friendly against Portugal, when he ruptured his Achilles tendon shortly before the match. His club, Slavia Prague, issues an update indicating the surgery is successful and that Ogbu begins rehabilitation as he recovers. The club statement shared by the reports says he is likely to miss approximately three months of action while he undergoes recovery and physical therapy. Because of the expected layoff, Ogbu is set to miss parts of Slavia’s fixtures during his rehabilitation period. The reports consistently characterize the timeframe as roughly three months and describe the injury as an Achilles tendon rupture occurring shortly before the Portugal friendly.
