Super Eagles’ midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi, faces several months out with a fractured leg suffered in Nigeria’s 0-2 loss to Les Bleus of France at the World Cup on Monday.
The 21-year-old was stretchered off after a tackle from France’s Blaise Matuidi during the Round of 16 match in Brasilia.
Onazi was taken to a nearby hospital and tests confirmed he has a fractured tibia and fibula in his left leg.
The Super Eagles star tweeted a photograph of his left leg in a cast and included a message that said: “Thanks to everyone for your prayers, will be fine by his grace.
“God Bless Nigeria.”
Onazi, who is under contract with Lazio until June 2016, made 29 Serie A appearances for the Biancoceleste in the 2013-2014 season.
