While the media reported the 23-year-old Nigeria international would miss the beginning of the new campaign with an ankle injury, we explained the reason for the injury scare.

He missed an international match for Nigeria because he wanted to attend a wedding.

When the Nigerian FA found out, they wanted the striker to explain himself, and he came up with the ankle injury.

He has played it down, and now says there was not a problem and he is expected to join up with the rest of his team-mates on July 7 for the start of pre-season training.

He has a lot of explaining to do the next time he gets an international call up.
