The Nigeria international,who scored twice in the encounter was replaced by Dries Mertens after the break.
24 players made the trip to Dugava for the matchday two encounter.
The striker is also doubtful for Nigeria’s upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against the Mediterranean Knights of Libya.
