Super Eagles and PAOK defender, Willian Troost-Ekong, has recently undergone a successful surgery to address a ruptured biceps femoris in his right leg. The surgery, which took place in Finland on Tuesday, February 27th, comes as a result of an injury sustained during the Super Eagles’ second group A game against host nation Ivory Coast.
Troost-Ekong’s injury casts doubt on his availability for the upcoming qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup scheduled to resume in June. Despite the setback, Troost-Ekong exhibited remarkable leadership, guiding the Super Eagles to the final of the tournament.
