Super Eagles forward and former Eupen sensation
Henry Onyekuru has returned to Everton to
continue his recovery after being ruled out with a
knee injury while on loan at Anderlecht.
The Belgian side released a statement last month
saying that surgery was “inevitable” and the
striker would be out for “several months in order
to be able to recover optimally” after being forced
off against his former club Eupen on December
22.
Onyekuru joined Everton in the summer before
being sent out on loan to Anderlecht where he
had scored nine goals in 19 appearances in the
Jupiler Pro league and the 20-year-old shared a
picture of his return to his parent club on social
media as he continues his recovery even as he
revealed his hope in God for the strenght to
bounce back.
Back at @Everton a little earlier than expected, I
am so grateful for the facilities and the medical
team working hard to get me back playing ASAP!
The Lord is my strength
The Nigeria international sealed a switch to
Everton in June after a successful season at
Eupen where he scored 20 goals.
Onyekuru was called up for the Super Eagles
camp in May 2017,and made his senior debut for
Nigeria in a 3–0 friendly win over Togo on 1 June
2017.Unless there is a fast track in his
recovery,the 57 goals scorer for Eupen would have
been technically ruled out from consideration for
the World cup in Russia.
Super Eagles coach Genot Rohr had revealed that
he is monitoring all players with a view to
ensuring that only those in the best of form a
lined up for the Mundial. The Eagles will face
Argentina, Croatia and Iceland in the Group stage
in Russia.
