Emmanuel Emenike, the Nigerian striker for Spartak Moscow, returned to competition after more than two months of absence due to injury but suffered a relapse. He sustained an internal ligament injury during a match against Anzhi Makhachkala and will require surgery. This setback puts his participation in upcoming events, including the 2014 World Cup qualifiers and the Confederations Cup, into question. Emenike was in conflict with coach Stephen Keshi but had been selected in a list of 33 players for Nigeria’s upcoming matches.
