Super Eagles Defender Begins Recovery Journey After Achilles Surgery in Czech Republic

Super Eagles defender Igoh Ogbu has undergone successful surgery following a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained during the international break, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Slavia Praha centre-back had the procedure carried out at the Central Military Hospital in Střešovice, Czech Republic, where medical staff confirmed the operation was successful.

Ogbu is expected to be sidelined for approximately three months as he begins rehabilitation and recovery, dealing a setback to both his club and national team ambitions.

The injury occurred during the recent international window in which Nigeria suffered a 2-1 defeat to Portugal in a friendly match on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old defender has been an important figure for Slavia Praha and has also featured in recent Super Eagles squads, making his absence a significant blow ahead of upcoming fixtures.

Medical updates indicate that his recovery process will be closely monitored, with the player expected to begin physiotherapy in the coming weeks.If you want, I can also add quotes from Slavia Praha or the Super Eagles medical team for a more complete sports feature.
