Injury scare for Onuachu in Trabzonspor friendly match

Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu suffered a setback during Trabzonspor’s friendly clash against Araz Nakhchivan after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half.

The 31-year-old was forced off in the 35th minute following a knock to his left ankle and was immediately replaced by Danilo Sikan. Ice treatment was administered on the sidelines, and the club is awaiting further medical assessments to determine the full extent of the injury.

Onuachu’s absence will be a concern for the Turkish side, who recently secured his permanent signing for €5.6 million following a successful loan spell.

Fans and officials alike will be hoping the injury is minor, especially as preparations continue ahead of the new season.
