Football : William Troost-Ekong could miss the rest of the season due to surgery
A shadow looms over the season of Nigerian defender William Troost-Ekong as he may be forced to prematurely end his campaign due to an imminent surgery. The news follows a hamstring injury sustained during the second group stage match of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations against Ivory Coast.
However, in the aftermath of the final defeat against Ivory Coast, it was announced that Troost-Ekong would undergo surgery in Finland to repair a ruptured hamstring. These details were disclosed by the renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
This surgery threatens to rule Troost-Ekong out for the remainder of the season. His potential absence will be a significant blow to his Greek club PAOK, both domestically and in Europe, particularly in the UEFA Europa Conference League. As a key player in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, his presence on the field was crucial, and his absence could significantly impact his team’s ambitions in the upcoming competitions.
