Alhassan Yusuf refuses to rush back after injury

Super Eagles midfielder Alhassan Yusuf has said he hopes to return to full training at the AFCON in the next few days.

“I suffered a contusion of the thigh muscles, but the recovery is going well,” the Antwerp ace told reporters in Abidjan.

“I hope in two, three days I will resume training.”

Alhassan, 23, said he will not rush to action particularly as the Super Eagles have been doing well without him.

“I won’t rush to return because the team are doing well, they beat host nation Cote d’Ivoire,” he reasoned.

The Antwerp midfielder was the Super Eagles standout player in an opening AFCON Group A match against Equatorial Guinea.

However, a thigh injury forced him out of the match and he has since not featured for the Eagles.
