Igoh Ogbu is heading into a three-month recovery stretch after undergoing surgery on his Achilles tendon. The Super Eagles centre-back, formerly of Lillestrøm, will now shift his focus from the pitch to the rehabilitation room as he works through the programme ahead.
His club made the news official through a formal statement, confirming the timeline and signalling that the defender will be unavailable for selection while he heals.
Three months is a significant window in football, and how Ogbu returns from this setback will be worth watching closely for both his club and the Nigerian national team setup.
