LEICESTER City will be sweating over the fitness of Nigeria
international, Ahmed Musa, who was forced out of Sunday’s 1-1 draw away to
Tottenham Hotspur.
The Super Eagles forward scored his second consecutive goal
for the Foxes with the equalizer in
the 48th minute after Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen had put the
hosts in front four minutes earlier from the spot.
Musa however collided with Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris as he
stabs home the equalizer and had to receive treatment from Tottenham medical
staff in the goalmouth before getting back to his feet. He was however replaced
in the 68th minute by Jeffrey Schlupp.
This minor injury will be a worry for the Super Eagles
Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr ahead of Nigeria's key World Cup qualifier
against Algeria on 12 November.
The draw gives Leicester their first point away from home
in the league this season while Tottenham have now gone five matches without a
victory.
Musa's goal for Leicester at White Hart Lane was the
first that Tottenham have conceded from open play in the league this season and
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino was "disappointed" with his side
for allowing the equalizer.
"Disappointed. We created chances. We dominated the
game. But I am disappointed with the way we conceded the goal. It's hard to
lose two points. I was disappointed for the goal as the way we conceded was a
little unlucky, "he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
