Elderson Echiejile Confirms Hamstring Injury

Super Eagles and AS Monaco defender Elderson Echiejile has confirmed that he would be sidelined through an hamstring injury.

AS Monaco defender Elderson Echiejile has suffered a hamstring injury and will be out for weeks, the player has confirmed.

The Nigerian international sustained the problem during a training session with the French topflight outfit which ruled him out of his side’s 10-2 defeat of St Jean Beaulieu in the French Cup.


“I picked up a hamstring in training on Tuesday and I will be out for a couple of weeks,” Elderson wrote on Elderson3.com.

His injury is an undoubted blow for Monaco, who are hoping to overtake Ligue 1 leaders PSG.  The former Braga player will miss his team’s game against GFC Ajaccio, Lorient and Toulouse.

The 27-year-old has played 12 of Les Rouges et Blancs’ games this season, becoming an integral part of Leonardo Jardim’s side.
