Super Eagles defender ruled out of Inter Milan clash due to injury

Nigeria international Igoh Ogbu will play no part in Slavia Prague’s Champions League clash against Inter Milan on Tuesday after failing to recover from injury.

Head coach Jindrich Trpišovský confirmed the 25-year-old defender’s absence, revealing that Ogbu is still sidelined with a strain injury.

“All those who are healthy and on the roster for the Champions League are going,” Trpišovský told Efotbal. 

“We will definitely miss Ogbu and [Tomáš] Holeš, which is a big hit, but young boys like Tomáš Vlček, David Zima and Štěpán Chaloupek show that they are proficient representatives of these leaders and should replace them well.

“We’ve been through a virus that should be behind us by now. We believe that it will not affect anyone anymore.”

Ogbu has made four league appearances for Slavia Prague in the Czech topflight this season. He was also part of the Super Eagles squad that won the 2025 Unity Cup in May.

The defender previously represented Nigeria at youth level, featuring for the Flying Eagles at the 2019 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA U-20 World Cup the same year.
