Nigeria’s William Troost-Ekong is set to undergo surgery and will miss the rest of the season after picking up an injury in the 2023 AFCON.
The captain of the Nigerian national team arrived in Finland to undergo a minor surgical procedure to treat a tear in the muscle of the right thigh.
Nigerian journalist Oluwashina Okeleji revealed to BBC that the player is suffering from a thigh muscle tear he sustained during the Africa Cup of Nations.
Troost-Ekong suffered this injury in the second round of the group stage of the 2023 AFCON, in the game between Nigeria and Ivory Coast. Despite the setback, William won the MVP of the tournament.
The 30-year-old managed to score three times during the tournament, including a goal in the final, before Nigeria lost to Ivory Coast and the Eagles secured the silver medal.
