Seville striker Jerome Akor will not be part of the Nigerian senior national team for the next World Cup qualifiers after collecting a muscle injury that will keep it out of action for three weeks, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.
“The Nigerian striker has an injury to the long adductor muscle of his left thigh and will be against Girona FC,” the club announced with a brief statement on its official website.
It is expected to leave until October as soon as possible, effectively discarding it outside the Nigerian team for the next games against Rwanda and South Africa respectively after making the provisional list of 41 players made public by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Since he joined Seville seven months ago from the French Ligue 1 Montpellier team, he has only played in six official games without a goal until now. No, thanks to the injury that destroyed his ambition to his signature in January.
Akor made his debut in the coliseum in Getafe, arriving during the last 9 minutes and, after spending five weeks injured with a muscle injury in the right rectus femoris, played 7 minutes against Athletic Club, 25 minutes against Real Betis and the full 90 minutes against Atlético de Madrid.
After playing his first game as a starter, he suffered an identical ailment in the same area with an estimated forecast of at least two months of convalescence that made him lose the rest of the season.
