Turkish Super Lig giants Besiktas have provided fresh updates on Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi.

According to the club, the Nigerian midfielder sustained a hamstring injury during Nigeria’s quarter-final clash against Algeria.

The 29-year-old was replaced in the 70th minute of the match as Nigeria went on to secure a 2-0 victory over Algeria.

Ndidi returned to his base in Turkey on Sunday, January 18, following Nigeria’s third-place match against Egypt.

The club disclosed in a statement that the player will be undergoing treatment. However, no timeline was communicated regarding his return to action.

“Our player Wilfred Ndidi, who was unable to continue playing in the 70th minute of Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations match against Algeria due to pain in his left hamstring, has been diagnosed with a strain and bleeding in his biceps femoris muscle following an MRI performed by the Nigerian national team’s medical staff,” a statement on the club’s official website read.

“Wilfred Ndidi’s treatment process has begun.”
