Oghenekaro Etebo Sidelined for Las Palmas vs. Eibar La Liga Clash Due to Injury

Nigeria midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo has been ruled out of Las Palmas’ upcoming Spanish LaLiga clash against Eibar on Saturday due to a persistent muscle problem, as confirmed by the club on their official website earlier this week. Etebo’s absence from the 18-man squad is a result of his ongoing struggle to recover from the injury, marking a setback for the player ahead of the crucial fixture.
Imoh Ezekiel, Etebo’s international teammate, has made the squad for the game, providing an alternative option for Las Palmas in midfield.
Etebo, who joined Las Palmas on loan from Portuguese club CD Feirense in January, has made 13 league appearances for the club since the transfer. The talented midfielder’s absence is keenly felt, and Las Palmas will undoubtedly miss his contributions on the field.
As Etebo faces this setback, he will be hoping that the injury does not jeopardize his chances of representing Nigeria at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. With several teammates already battling injuries, including the likes of Wilfred Ndidi and Tyronne Ebuehi, Etebo’s recovery becomes a focal point for both Las Palmas and the Nigerian national team.
In the wake of recent injuries to key players, the collective hope is that Etebo, along with his compatriots, can overcome fitness challenges and make significant contributions to their respective teams in the upcoming competitions.
