Ebenezer Akinsamiro is in danger of dropping out of the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming world cup qualifiers playoff after picking up a shoulder injury for his team Pisa in a 1-0 win over Cremonese in the Serie A, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria handed the 20 year old a maiden call up to the team that will take part in the playoff in Morocco next week.
Nigeria will open their campaign against Gabon on the 13th with Akinsamiro among the players expected to arrive the camp of the team when it opens on Sunday, but that plan seems to have suffered a set back after today’s game.
Akinsamiro was subbed off in the 67th minute after landing heavily on his shoulder. It was his 9th game of the season which is his debut in the Italian top division. He is on loan to Pisa from league giants Inter Milan.
A proper description of what he suffered that led to his substitution will be made known after the game, for now Pisa are all about the celebration of picking up their first win of the season as the league go on break after this round of games for international games.
