Slavia Prague have confirmed that Igoh Ogbu came through surgery successfully after rupturing his Achilles tendon during Nigeria's international break activities.

The centre-back suffered the injury in a training session as the Super Eagles prepared for their friendly against Portugal — a match he never got to play. He had previously appeared in both of Nigeria's Unity Cup fixtures against Zimbabwe and Jamaica, and started the 2-2 draw with Poland before Semi Ajayi replaced him at half-time.

Three months on the sidelines

In a statement on their official website, the Czech club confirmed the operation had been completed at the Central Military Hospital in Střešovice.
