Emmanuel Emenike ruled out of AFCON finals due to an injury.
Emmanuel Emenike was on Friday ruled out of Sunday’s
final in the ongoing Nations Cup due to a muscle tear.
According to MTNFootball, the Spartak Moscow striker,
who is also one of the top scorers at this year’s Nations Cup will miss the
tournament final against Burkina Faso after a scan showed that he suffered a
thigh muscle tear of the right leg.
The 25-year-old striker has missed training over the past
two days and both he and team officials have worked overtime to assure he will
be fit for Sunday; however, Emenike will have to sit out of one of the most
crucial match in the competition due to the injury.
Villarreal striker Ikechukwu Uche and Russian-based forward
Ahmed Musa could be the likely replacement for the for the ailing striker,
Ideye Brown who is slowly but surely coming to life at the Nations Cup could
also be called upon on Sunday for the Super Eagles.
