Leon Balogun Suffers Suspected Fractured Cheek Bone, Doubtful To Face Algeria
Published: October 20, 2017
Leon Balogun Suffers Suspected Fractured Cheek Bone, Doubtful To Face Algeria Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr is sweating on the fitness of Mainz central defender Leon Balogun less than ten days before he is expected to announce his final roster for 2017.
Balogun may not figure in the World Cup qualifier against the Algerians after suffering a serious injury in the 79th minute of Mainz's 2-0 loss to Schalke 04 at Veltins-Arena, Gelsenkirchen on Friday night.
Providing an update on the injury suffered by Balogun, Mainz tweeted immediately after the game : '' Last year, @LeonBalogun wore a face mask vs. @s04_en. Today, he had to come off with a suspected cheek bone fracture. Get well soon, Leon!''
In October 2016, a hamstring complaint prevented Balogun from traveling to Africa for the World Cup qualifier versus Zambia, and he also withdrew from the squad that faced South Africa in June because of a thigh injury.
Prior to today's match with Schalke, he had been on the bench in the last three matches in the Bundesliga, against Hertha Berlin, Wolfsburg and Hamburg.
Nigeria have conceded just once in their last three World Cup qualifiers with Balogun and William Troost-Ekong partnering in central defense.
You are only as good as your last game..nobody is singing Iheanacho's praises anymore. Why the double standard?
forgiveness: So, Solanke's goals at the Eredivise is also youth record?
If you you really believe the club and league you play in is irrelevant, fast fast consider Solanke's goals in the Eredivise to the equation, and consider he did that at 17, then tell me if they are still par.

LMC sabi package. That's very important..But we hope that they will not only stop there..
tbaba1234: "In the last five weeks I saw plenty of promo for the Aeito cup from everybody. Please excuse me if I did not get the spelling right. Brought in the caf president for the grand finale, and a whole lot of people. So the stage was set, for a wonderful show. The whole world was watching again and the outcome was nonsense, and this is not for the first time. A lot of local bloggers believe we should only say positive things about our league to promote it, and sell it to the outside world. My question is? What is positive about our league? Since the inception of the LMC what has changed in our league? Certainly not the quality of football, because the whole world saw that in the just concluded Aeito cup. So if the quality is bad? What do you want to sell?"
ChrisKels: The way u guys engage in crappy arguments is really disappointing. Wetin concern Solanke, concern our lack of potent strikers at the moment? Is he in any way a solution to the problem? Una funny.
Osimhen please get me a goal by the weekend to shoot yourself back to reckoning. I go like c u for that Algeria list.
Good luck to Acho too.
Abraham you are keeping us waiting.
Rohr please try out Onuachu, he might turn out to be an upgrade on the so called Abraham.
I feel the same too.. China is not permanent.. it will have been better for his development. But there were other offers too.. This EPL craze is killing some our players' development.
TheGoodJoe: I will not lie to you. I pondered whether it was the wrong choice Iheanacho not opting for a move to China with Pellegrini. Back then, I did not entertain the idea but today, I feel that was the best decision.
Iheanacho would have made money and continued working with a manager who truly believed in him.
Another person like that is the current Southampton coach, Pellegrino. He followed Benitez like MTN. Everywhere he went.
Oga he has scored all type of goals.. a goal scorer must tap in when necessary.. you don't bicycle that kind opportunity. don't forget Tammy's latest goals
Mickael2: How do you rate most of his goals? I mean if we are going to bring in a tap in merchant it makes no sense for me
The 19-year-old took full advantage of Sergio Aguero being rested to score three times in the FA Cup fourth-round tie at Villa Park on Saturday, with Raheem Sterling netting the other in a comfortable 4-0 win.
Dzeko and Jovetic joined Serie A sides Roma and Inter respectively at the start of the season and Pellegrini believes Iheanacho is showing that allowing the more experienced pair to go was the right decision.
"Kelechi is a very good young player," the Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini told BBC Sport.
"We let Jovetic and Dzeko go because I see Kelechi every day and know what he can do. I am very happy.
Uche Agbo and co had the last laugh after Taiwo Awoniyi brought Mouscron level on the 49th minute. Standard Liege had gone ahead from an own goal just after the half hour mark. But Les Rouches , who paraded Uche Agbo from start to finish ensured that the home fans were punished after converting from the spot in the dying minutes of extra time.
See people wey we suppose dey discuss their chances of breaking into Super Eagles for World Cup....some people just dey occupy the pages of this thread with failed youth footballers that we will have to process fifty documents and go through 3 FAs before we get their services, this is if they grudgingly agree after we have groveled on the ground for their services.
EX-GOLDEN EAGLET PROGRESS UPDATE Golden Eaglet Class of 2015, Kingsley Michael made his debut for Bologna Primevera (U19) last weekend. He started as a CM and lasted 73 minutes in their 5-1 home demolition of Chievo U19.
Golden Eaglet Class of 2013, and one-cap Super Eagles Right-Back, Musa Muhammed has been ever present in the Bulgarian top-tier since appearing in Lokomotiv Plovdiv's matchday squad. The defender notched an assist to help them beat PFC Stara Zagora 2-1 away this past weekend. Muhammed who now plays as a left back since his second loan spell from parent club Baseksehir Istanbul, has clocked a possible maximum 360 minutes after four matches.
it's Denmark but he is over-performing.. That's the main point.. we should not be making calls for players that are not performing.. I don't care where they play, they just have to perform.
TheGoodJoe: Nice one. Awo could not train with Liverpool because he did not have a work permit. Yet someone wants us to believe that place of birth is irrelevant.
komekn travel to watch other leagues.. that first hand experience is what's causing your bias
tbaba1234: Does that make spurs on par with Madrid? Was it not the same side that lost to Monaco?
You are shifting the goal post. We have seen Everton could not beat a team from Cyprus at home in a competitive game.
To say wolfburg will struggle with a league 1 side is ridiculous because man for man, they have better players. Football is not mathematics but the odds favour Wolfburg
The same Solanke that could not boss it in eredivise, a weaker league will come and boss it in the German league.
I think, your english bias sometimes makes you not appreciate the quality of other leagues.
That could be the biz plan because they will make more money from an academy player previously of low value.. But that does not mean they will turn a blind eye to a player who is firing all cylinders away on loan. Only you said "they have paid chicken change for" the loanees. The same biz sense applies here
komekn: Bro. make I tell as d matter be. That is the theory.
In reality the boys who are in the academy being seen by the coaches day in day out are at a distinctive advantage. Add to that relationships are formed and thier is inherent competition to push the academy boys forward beyond the boys they have paid chicken change for.
It's a business plan as well once a player plays afew games for the first team his value rises astronomically. Jerome Sinclair was never going to break in to the first team but he was given a game or two marketed correctly. Then sold to Watford for £5 million who then discovered chei bad market. Hrs not good enough. He is now in the bench warmers club at Birmingham city.
So for Liverpool they have made profit a player they bought from West Bromwich for £1 million not so long ago as a 16 year old.
So because he plays with Mane and co, that's an achievement.. The moment Osimhen score, back to SE.. however, don't mention Solanke around SE until he starts to perform in Liverpool. Iheanacho was delivering in Man City when we decided to give him a look in .. no free passes just because of who you rub shoulders with.
U20 na still youth football.. Solanke is a striker.. he needs to score. or at least assist..
Modified You made the argument earlier that when a player plays with quality teammates they have an edge. That's the edge Solanke has now, at least make he assist.. then we can start talking
komekn: They are not on par AT ALL BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION.
Solanke is the current best U20 player in the world and is playing for a top team in a top league with World class attacking players ahead of him. Firminho, Coutinho, Mane, Sturridge, Salah, to name just a few.
Osimhen on the other hand has achieved nothing beyond small boys football in the past near two years. He is struggling to get on the bench at lowly Wolfsburg no joke he will not make it into Liverpool U18.
Finally, who is ahead of Osimhen blocking his pathway to the first team name the world class top performing attacking players please let's make a comparative analysis. To end it all who has relegated Osimhen to warm bench the striker Divock Origi that Solanke had displaced.
If Solanke was in Wolfsburg he would be first choice striker, no shakin.
This matter is concluded Solanke no be Osimhen mate.
I agree. I think he deserves to train with SE, and who knows?
ChrisKels: Onuachu the goals machine. His aerial prowess is second to none. He scores with both feet too. His agent should please take this guy to either France or Germany.
TURKEY: Super Lig - Round 9 Antalyaspor 2-1 Kasimpasa
Kenneth Omeruo could not prevent African football Legend, Samuel Eto'o from getting on the scoresheet. Omeruo played from start to finish for Kasimpasa in their away loss.
i'm sure EPL sides monitor their loanees week in week out.. They know just when they would need their services. Most are farmed out MAINLY because of the work permit issue.
komekn: Let me put it another way, out of sight is out of mind mostly.
When the coaches are seeing you day in day out in close and personal you stand a far greater chance of being pushed into the first team. In addition in the U18 and U23 you will be playing the same formation and football strategy of the first team. It them becomes easier for you to a proper fit for the first team, because bthatbis what you are being prepared for.
In this regard I can not see Nwakali ever playing for Arsenal. There are too many boys who are considered better than him.
That's a VERY BIG IF , that has millions of pote variables. If Osimhen was born in England he may have decided to play, basketball or rugby. So I don't think that kind of ball gazing doesn't hold any water.
DENMARK: Superliga - Round 13 Midtjyland 4-2 Horsens Paul Onuachu scores Midtjyland's fourth, and clocked 90 mins. He was cautioned in the 55th. Onuachu who stands at an incredible height of just a little over 2.00 meters, has scored 14 goals and 5 assists out of 17 matches from all competitions this season.
Horsens' Ayo Okosun also posted a full shift, and was shown a yellow card in the 37th.
BELGIUM: Jupiler League - Round 11 Mouscron vs St. Liege Taiwo Awoniyi and Uche Agbo face off at Stade Le Canonnier. Both start for Mouscron and Standard Liege respectively.
