Nigerian midfielder Ogenyi Onazi out for 2-3 weeks with a muscle injury
Onazi has suffered another injury setback.
Nigerian midfielder Ogenyi Onazi who plays for Turkish club Denizlispor is expected to be out of action for two to three weeks with a muscle injury.
Onazi could only play 13 minutes after coming on as a 46th-minute substitute in Denizlispor’s 1-0 loss away at Sivasspor in a Turkish Super Lig game on Monday, June 15, 2020.
A small tear was later detected in the posterior muscle during medical examinations and he is reportedly set to miss two to three weeks of action.
According to a Turkish sports website, fanatik.com, the Denizlispor medics have advised the 27-year-old Nigeria international to stay away from action in that period.
“It was reported that Ogenyi Onazi of Yukenel Denizlispor will stay away from the field for 2-3 weeks due to the injury of the Nigerian football player in the Sivasspor match,” the report said.
“In the statement made by the green-black club, it was stated that a small rupture was detected in the back muscle of Onazi’s MR and the treatment of the 27-year-old player has started.”
This injury is the latest setback for the midfielder who just returned to action in late 2019 after almost a year out of action due to an injury he sustained in December 2018.
Onazi joined Denizlispor in January 2010 and has made eight appearances for them.
