Francis Uzoho Speaks On Horrific Injury In Super Eagles Draw Against Brazil

The Super Eagles may have earned a respectable draw against Brazil, but it was not all good news after Francis Uzoho suffered a nasty injury in the encounter, and he has spoken for the first time.

The 20-year-old was taken off after landing awkwardly while trying to deal with a cross. Replays showed it could be a leg break, but the Cyprus based keeper has assured his fans that he will do everything to come back stronger.

He took to Twitter to give an update while also assuring his fans the injury will not dampen his spirit.  The AC Omonia shotstopper said:  A big thank you to you all 🙏🏽. I will be back stronger and better  IN CHRIST ALONE.

Other Super Eagles stars also took to Twitter to send their wishes to Uzoho. Among the players to send in their wishes is Wilfred Ndidi.

The injury is a massive blow to Uzoho who is starting to get his career back on track after a difficult campaign last season.
