Injured Agu out of Super Eagles W’Cup qualifiers

Werder Bremen have confirmed that Nigerian international Felix Agu will be sidelined for several months after sustaining a syndesmosis ligament injury.

The 26-year-old picked up the injury during Bremen’s 1-0 victory over FC St. Pauli last weekend and was substituted in the 44th minute for Isaac Schmidt.

A statement on the club’s official website reads: “The Nigerian international sustained a syndesmosis ligament injury in the 1-0 home win against FC St. Pauli and will be out of the Green-Whites’ squad for several months. 

“This was confirmed by an MRI and X-ray examination conducted by team doctor Robert Gorzolla on Monday morning.

The various treatment options are currently being reviewed, and a decision will be made soon.”

Head coach Horst Steffen expressed sympathy for Agu, promising that the club would provide full support during his recovery.

“I’m incredibly sorry for Felix. We will do everything we can to get him fit again as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, however, we have to assume that Felix will be out of action for the foreseeable future,” Steffen said.

Agu’s injury also rules him out of Nigeria’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin Republic.

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle is expected to name a replacement for the injured full-back in the coming days.
