Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for Nigerian football following the events over the last week, the news of Tyronne Ebuehi’s ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has seen the African nation slapped with another setback.

If by chance you need a refresher, the previous week began with information regarding Salisu Yusuf’s malpractice – which saw him caught on tape receiving an alleged $1,000 bribe – while, with the week running to a close, Carl Ikeme called time on his professional career having spent 18 years at Wolverhampton Wanderers, making 200 appearances for the Molineux club.
