English Premier League side Watford has announced that Nigeria international Oghenekaro Etebo won’t be available for the next five months after picking up an injury.
The club made the announcement on their official website revealing that he picked up a muscle injury during the game againt Newcastle United as part of their update ahead of this weekend game against Leeds United.
He will require a period of four to five months to heal effectively ruling him out of Nigeria’s campaign at next month Africa Cup of Nations. “Midfielder Peter Etebo tore a quad muscle towards the end of the Newcastle United game last weekend and is expected to be out for between four to five months”, reads an announcement on their website.
It will also dampen his chances of earning a permanent deal at the club where he is on loan from Stoke City with the option of signing permanently at the end of the season, which will be a blow to his dream of staying at the club.
