One of Nigeria's potential strikers to the Russia 2018 World Cup has suffered a massive injury blow that may affect his chances of a debut show at the Mundial.
It is now confirmed that Everton loanee Henry Onyekuru will have to undergo a knee surgery after suffering a ligament injury in Anderlecht's 1-0 win over Eupen in the Belgian First Division A on Friday.
The Nigeria international who now faces a long spell on the sidelines was stretchered off the pitch in the 78th minute after a collision with Eupen goalkeeper Hendrik Van Crombrugge.
Anderlecht medical team confirmed that they contacted Onyekuru's parent club Everton about his injury to determine where he will have the surgical operation.
''The medical staff of RSCA reports after extensive medical research that Henry Onyekuru has torn his medial bond. Onyekuru will soon be operated on,'' the Belgian champions wrote on their official website.
''The medical staff is in close contact with his parent club Everton to determine where the Nigerian will go under. ''
With nine league goals from nineteen appearances, Onyekuru is the top club scorer at Anderlecht this season.
