Nigerian Footballer Ryan Alebiosu Faces One-Month Injury Layoff in AFCON 2025

Nigerian footballer Ryan Alebiosu will be sidelined for a month due to a deep cut on his right leg sustained during Nigeria's 3-1 victory over Uganda in the AFCON 2025 tournament. Despite the injury, Alebiosu completed the game.

His return to his club, Blackburn Rovers, is uncertain as he receives treatment. Chidozi Awaziem is expected to provide cover at right back in Alebiosu's absence, while Bright Osayi Samuel is a natural right back in the team.
