Nigerian Midfielder, Mikel Agu, is the latest player to join the Super Eagles growing injury list.

Mikel is now a doubt for Nigeria ahead of the final round of 2018 World Cup qualifiers this weekend.

The 24-year-old defensive midfielder faces a race to be fit in time for the Super Eagles matches against Algeria and Argentina on November 10 and 14 respectively. The player was substituted 45 minutes into Bursaspor’s 2-2 draw with Kasimpasa on Saturday because he was still nursing an injury.

A source said, “Mikel felt some pains before the match against Kasimpasa, so the coach had to replace him after the first half.”
“His manager did not want him to worsen the injury. Bursaspor doctors have carried out tests on Mikel and they said the injury is not too serious.”

This adds to the injury list that has; Victor Moses, Elderson Echiejile, Odion Ighalo and Moses Simon. Leon Balogun is also reportedly short of match fitness.
