Nigeria powerful defender Leon Balogun
has returned to the treatment room days after helping the Super Eagles
beat South American giants Argentina 4-2 in Krasnodar in Russia on
November 14.
His German Bundesliga club Mainz 05
confirmed on their official Twitter account on Sunday that the
29-year-old suffered a fracture to his left hand on Friday and had
undergone surgery.
The former Werder Bremen player, who
made his international debut in the 0-0 draw in a friendly game
against Mexico in March 2014, missed Mainz’s league clash against
Cologne at Opel Arena on Saturday. Mainz won 1-0.
Balogun on October 20 underwent an
operation on his broken cheek bone after he was injured in his
team’s 2-0 defeat by Schalke 04 in their Bundesliga clash at
Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen.
