Nigeria defender, Zaidu Sanusi is expected to miss the rest of the season as a result of injury.
Sanusi was stretchered off the pitch during Porto’s 2-0 victory against Estrella da Amadora on Saturday night with Jorge Sanchez taking his place.
“Stay strong, Zaidu 💪
ℹ️ The Nigerian international has a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and the external lateral ligament of his left knee,” reads a statement on the club’s official website.
Sanusi spent around three months on the sidelines in the first half of the season.
The 27-year-old has made just five league appearances for Porto this season with one goal to his name.
He was part of Nigeria’s squad to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire. READ ALSO:
