Odion Ighalo was rushed to the hospital after sustaining injury in Changchun Yatai’s 3-2 defeat to Shanghai Shenhua on Saturday.
Ighalo scored a brace in the game before he was forced off with an injury in the 73rd minute, after receiving a kick to the left ankle joint.
He is expected to be on the sidelines for four weeks, but should be available for the Super Eagles AFCON qualifiers against South Africa on 10 June.
