Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye Injured!
Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is injured, sparking concerns ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations which begins in January.
Okoye was forced off Sparta Rotterdam’s home game against Ajax Amsterdam in the 24th minute of Sunday’s Eredivisie game, which they lost 1-0.
Watford-bound goalkeeper Okoye was substituted midway through the first half and was replaced by Benjamin van Leer after a suspected shoulder injury following a collision with Ajax forward, Danilo.
The club confirmed on their Twitter handle: “Sparta are forced to make a first change due to injury to Okoye.”
Nigerians will be worried about the development especially with Victor Osimhen’s recent travails and the inactivity of defender Leon Balogun who is also down with an undisclosed ailment
