SUPER EAGLES DEFENDER ALEBIOSU FACES FOUR MONTHS OUT AFTER SURGERY BLOW!

Super Eagles defender Ryan Alebiosu is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after sustaining an injury while playing for Blackburn Rovers in the English Championship.

The 24-year-old right-back picked up the injury during Blackburn’s clash against Stoke City last Tuesday and was forced off the pitch four minutes before half-time.

Further medical assessment has confirmed that the Nigerian defender requires surgery, raising concerns about his availability for upcoming club and international assignments.

Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray disclosed that Alebiosu could be out of action for between three and four months.

The injury is another setback for the defender, who has already struggled with fitness problems this season, as Blackburn prepare to cope without his services for a significant period.
