Volyn Lutsk of Ukraine winger, Babatunde Michael is once again in doubt for a role with the Super Eagles in their last two matches of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, as the World Cup revelation is battling to be fit next week’s double-assault on Congo Republic and South Africa.
Volyn Lutsk of Ukraine winger, Babatunde Michael is once again in doubt for a role with the Super Eagles in their last two matches of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, as the World Cup revelation is battling to be fit next week’s double-assault on Congo Republic and South Africa.
The 21-year-old Babatunde has only played 70 minutes of club football this season no thanks to the wrist injury he picked at the World Cup and an ankle problem.
Since limping off injured 23 minutes into a cup game against Dnipro in September, the Super Eagles World Cup revelation is yet to return to training with the team.
However, he declared himself fit to play for the Super Eagles during the last round of International matches but the medical team stopped him from both games against Sudan.
Despite training unscathed with the Super Eagles before their last home match against Sudan, Michael is yet to resume training with Volyn.
Reports from Ukraine monitored by SL10.ng claimed he suffered a set back in his recovery by training with the Super Eagles while not fully fit.
A slight confirmation to the story is his absence from Volyn's last five games, failing to make the match day squad.
While his injury woes continue to hamper his club career this season, his National team spot is not by any way affected.
Head coach of the Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi, has listed him among 23 players to prosecute Nigeria's final AFCON 2015 qualifiers.
