Ejide Injured

Super Eagles and Hapoel Beer Sheva’s Austine Ejide was substituted in the 52nd minute following a rib injury in his side’s 2-1 away win against Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Israeli topflight on Saturday.
Ejide is one of the four goalkeepers included in Stephen Keshi’s 30-man World Cup preliminary squad for the 2014 Fifa World Cup.
His team was a goal up in the first half courtesy of Maor Buzaglo’s 33rd minute strike before he was pulled out when it was evident that he could not continue with the game.
The 30-year old shot stopper who boasts of 25 caps for the country was in the Nigeria squad to the 2002 and 2010 Fifa World Cups and has featured 33 times for his team this season conceding 27 goals.
Hapoel Beer Sheva are expected to carry out detailed tests on the Nigerian this week to establish the level of his injury which could rule him out of the 2014 World Cup in June.
