Super Eagles’ Odion Ighalo has given the Eagles’ Technical crew a huge relief ahead of the AFCON with news that he would only be out for two weeks following the injury he suffered on Friday.
The former Watford striker lasted just 10 minutes in Shanghai Shenhua 1-1 draw away at Tianjin Teda before he was replaced by YiZhen Wu.
Eagles gaffer, Gernot Rohr, who put a call across to his first choice striker, told Sports247 afterward that his injury wasn’t too serious and hopes to have him back soonest before the team regroups in Asaba on June 2.
