Onyekuru back in Nigeria, now on crutches

By Akeem Lawal
RECUPERATING Nigeria international, Henry Onyekuru has returned to Nigeria to spend time with his family after suffering an injury while playing for his loan club Anderlecht, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.


Onyekuru, who uploaded a picture of himself on crutches with his younger sister on his verified Twitter on Saturday, believes that spending time with members of his family will speed up his recovery.

 “Had to come back Home πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ to spend time with the family. Family time speeds up the recovery, God willing I’ll be back better and stronger πŸ™πŸΎπŸ€™πŸΎ#Baby Sis ️πŸŽ„,” Onyekuru he said along with the picture via @henryconyekuru.


The Super Eagles forward was stretchered off the pitch 13 minutes from the end of his side's 1-0 Jupiler Pro League victory over KAS Eupen on 22nd December after falling awkwardly under a challenge.

An initial scan by Anderlecht showed that the 20 year old will undergo a surgery and there were concerns that the Nigerian could be ruled out for the rest of the season and possibly miss next summer's World Cup.


However, the Everton loanee, who has scored nine goals in 19 league appearances for Anderlecht so far this season, later revealed that he doesn't require surgery on his knee injury and could be out for a shorter period than was initially feared.
