Onyekuru could return in time before the end of the current season, however it is unknown if this current injury could hinder his world cup chances.
What a great year it has been for me, thank you to everyone that has supported me, especially the Almighty God. I hope to return back to fitness soon and will be back fitter & stronger in the new year. ✌🏿
