Nigeria’s Babatunde Michael may have had his last kick at the ongoing World Cup due to the injury sustained on Wednesday against Argentina.
Michael broke his arm and is due to undergo surgery anytime from now.
The Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi, confirmed that his case was a bad one.
Keshi said: “It was bad.
“He broke his arm and he is going for surgery.
“I don’t think he will be part of the competition anymore.
“It is unfortunate.”
Michael, who had his first cap for Nigeria during the warm up games for the World Cup, plays for Volyn Lutsk of Ukraine.
He was particularly outstanding in the 1-0 victory recorded by Nigeria against Bosnia-Herzegovina and was also doing well against Argentina until he sustained the injury.
Michael provided the assist for the first goal which Ahmed Musa converted intelligently. Sad enough, it was a shot taken by Ogenyi Onazi that broke the arm of the Ukraine based player.
