Igoh Ogbu Out for Three Months After Achilles Surgery

Igoh Ogbu, a 24-year-old central defender for Slavia Prague, is set to miss three months of action after undergoing successful surgery for a torn Achilles tendon sustained during Nigeria's international break in June. The procedure took place at the Central Military Hospital in St.

Ovici. Following the surgery, Ogbu will embark on an intensive rehabilitation program to facilitate his return to the pitch.

This injury is a significant setback for the Nigerian national team, particularly affecting their defensive setup as they prepare for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Ogbu had played a prominent role in the Super Eagles, starting five consecutive matches and helping goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo achieve back-to-back clean sheets.

This injury extends a challenging period for Ogbu, who previously faced disruptions due to injuries, limiting him to just nine league starts in the previous season with Slavia Prague.
