Head coach Éric Chelle revealed before the Super Eagles’ Round of 16 clash with the Mambas of Mozambique that the player will be sidelined for around 10 to 12 weeks.
The Panathinaikos striker took to the social media to express his frustration.
“Unfortunately I sustained an injury at AFCON. It’s extremely difficult to accept that I will miss the remainder of the tournament and an important period at Panathinaikos,” the striker wrote.
“I will be our biggest fan in these weeks, go full in rehab and hopefully we can celebrate a win and goal together soon.”
