Captain of the Nigerian national team, William Troost-Ekong, has traveled to Finland to undergo a minor surgical procedure.
Nigerian journalist, Oluwaseina Okeliji, reporting for BBC network, revealed that the player is suffering from a thigh muscle tear sustained during the Africa Cup of Nations.
Troost-Ekong sustained the injury during the second group stage match against Ivory Coast but insisted on completing the tournament.
Despite the injury, William was awarded the Best Player accolade in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, and it is anticipated that he will return to participate with PAOK at the end of the season.
