Super Eagles Troost-Ekong Reveals When He Will Back From Injury (SEE)

Nigeria defender William Troost-Ekong has revealed he will be fit for the start of next season.

Troost-Ekong went under the knife last month following a thigh injury he sustained at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

The 30-year-old has also been ruled out for the remainder of the current campaign.

The centre-back disclosed that he will be fit for action again by the end of May.

“I should be back and fit again in May, but I think it’s probably season over. You never know how rehab will go but I don’t want to rush it because at my tender age of 30 you have to be smart about these injuries,” Troost-Ekong told CNN World Sports.

“I want to be 100% for next season, 100% right. If I can play at the end of this season that’s great, if not then I will be ready for next season.”

His return will be a timely boost for the Super Eagles, who will face South Africa and Benin Republic in a 2026 World Cup qualifier in June.
