Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika is maintaining a positive disposition despite currently facing up to six weeks on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during his last outing for Club Brugge, Footynaija.com reports.
Onyedika was helped off the pitch in the first half of Brugge’s Belgian Pro League clash against Westerlo on Wednesday night. He watched the remainder of that game from the sidelines with both sides going on to score five goals each in a thrilling contest.
The 24-year-old is set to remain on the sidelines for up to six weeks, ruling him out of crucial games for both club and country. He will miss Club Brugge’s upcoming UEFA Champions League clash with Atalanta as well as upcoming Super Eagles qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin.
