Nigeria centre-back Igoh Ogbu will undergo a scan in Lisbon on Monday after suffering an Achilles tendon injury during a Super Eagles training session on Saturday — a blow that has already ruled him out of the upcoming international friendly against Portugal.

The Slavia Prague defender picked up the knock at training, and medical staff want a full assessment before determining the severity of the damage. Super Eagles Media Officer Promise Efoghe moved to quash circulating reports suggesting Ogbu had packed his bags and returned to the Czech Republic.
