Balogun Suffers Injury Blow

Nigeria’s build-up to next
month’s World Cup qualifier in Zambia has suffered a big blow after defender Leon Balogun was forced out of a German Bundesliga game at the weekend.
Balogun, who has formed a superb central defence partnership for the Super Eagles with Norway-based William Troost-Ekong, limped out after just nine minutes at home for Mainz 05 against Bayer Leverkusen.
It is suspected that he has suffered a hamstring injury and a scan will determine how long he will now be sidelined.
The 28-year-old defender has featured in all five league games for Mainz this season.
And only this past week, he was named in the prestigious Bundesliga Team of the Week.
