Dream Team VI defender, Stanley Amuzie, suffered a “serious and complicated” knee injury during last weekend crucial CAF U-23 Championship clash in Congo, officials told africanFootball.com
The Sampdoria of Italy wingback was forced out of the second leg match in Pointe Noire and replaced by Chima Akas as a result of this injury.
A scan has been done on the injury to determine the extent of the severity, officials added.
Interestingly, Amuzie, who was outstanding in the first leg match in Port Harcourt which Nigeria won 2-1, has been penciled down for invitation by Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh.
The team which sent packing Congo to qualify for the CAF U23 Championship in Senegal, is also sweating on the fitness of Warri Wolves forward, Oghenekaro Etebo.
Etebo has been nursing a long-term knee injury which may now need surgery.
