World football governing the body, FIFA will be responsible for Francis Uzoho’s wages for the entirety of the time he will be out of action, as part of its compensation scheme to clubs whose players are injured during the international break.
Uzoho, 20, suffered a horrific injury that will sideline him for six months while playing for Nigeria in their international friendly clash with Brazil in Singapore.
The Super Eagles medical team confirmed that the player would sit out of action for about six months, which means he might not play for the club again this season.
Nigeria’s friendly with Brazil was sanctioned by the world football governing body and also played on a date on the FIFA international match calendar.
