Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu is expected to be available for Trabzonspor’s Turkish Super Lig encounter against Beşiktaş next Monday despite suffering an injury in Thursday night’s UEFA Europa League clash against KuPS, Trybal News reports.
The 32-year-old opened the scoring for Trabzonspor in the third minute of the match but was forced off just six minutes later after picking up an injury. He was replaced by Guinea-Bissau international Franculino Dju.
The early substitution raised concerns over Onuachu’s availability for the crucial league fixture against Beşiktaş.
However, Turkish news outlet Takagazette reports that the injury is not considered serious, with the Nigerian international reportedly leaving the stadium on foot after the match.
Trabzonspor are expected to make every effort to ensure the forward recovers in time for Monday’s encounter.
Onuachu has scored two goals in seven Turkish Super Lig appearances for the Black Sea Storm this season.
