Trabzonspor defender Chibuike Nwaiwu is in a race against time to be fit for the Super Eagles upcoming friendly games in March, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Like we exclusively reported the ex Enyimba defender is among the new players head coach Eric Chelle plan to invite for the tournament in Jordan during the international break.
However what would have been his first call up to the team has suffered a setback after his club confirmed that he will be out for an unforeseeable period of time with a thigh injury.
The 22 year old is dealing with bleeding and swelling in his left thigh, diagnosed after his injury in the latest Süper Lig match. It was his 7th league appearance since his move from Austrian side Wolfsberger AC in the January transfer window.
Medical examinations have confirmed the injury. The club’s head doctor, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Beşir, stated that treatment has already begun. The player’s expected time on the sidelines has not yet been specified.
