The injured Home-based Super Eagles defender Olamilekan Adeleye is hopeful to be fit on-time to play for the team at the African Nations Championship (CHAN), after picking up a knee injury few minutes into the encounter involving Plateau United on Wednesday.
Adeleye picked up the injury early in the game and was replaced by Kalu Orji.
Adeleye told Complete Sports in Kano: “I was afraid it was a serious injury after I was stretchered off but tests have confirmed it is not something serious.
“I will be out for around two weeks which gives me the chance to stiil be part of the team for the CHAN.” The no nonsense defender declared.
CHAN is scheduled for Morocco from January 13 to February 4, 2018.
Salisu Yusuf’s charges will face Enyimba in their next game at the NPFL invitational on Friday.
The team is expected to leave for Morocco early in January to begin full preparation for CHAN.
They are drawn in Group C along with Rwanda, Libya and Equatorial Guinea
