I won’t need surgery on my injury – Onyekuru

The knee injury sustained by Super Eagles and Anderlecht FC

striker, Henry Onyekuru is not as serious as earlier reported.

Speaking from his base in Belgium, Onyekuru said that medics at

Everton have reviewed the Magnetic Resonance Imagery (MRI)

results and also the extent of damage to the leg, while clearing

that the player and that he will be back on his feet in about six

weeks as against the 12-15 weeks earlier reported in the media.

“Everton called for me to come back. They saw the picture of

the MRI and they said I won’t need surgery. So hopefully, I will

just go through the treatment and won’t need it,” the former KAS

Eupen forward told AOIFootball.com yesterday.

The 20-year-old, who has raked in eight goals this season for

Anderlecht, revealed further he would be heading to the UK in

three weeks to begin treatment.

“Hopefully, in three weeks I should be in UK for treatment,” he

said.
