Bryant

Vincent Enyeama has been ruled out for the
rest of the season, according to the
goalkeeper’s French club Lille.
Enyeama has been in great form this season,
and talk of a return to international football
has been making the rounds in the local
media following his decision to hang up his
gloves and concentrate on club football last
year.
The 34-year old Enyeama was injured in
Lille’s 0-2 defeat to Rennes at Roazhon Park
on 15 April, with Mike Maignan taking his
place in the 65th minute.
Speaking at a press conference on
Wednesday ahead of Lille’s Ligue 1 clash
with Montpellier at the weekend, interim
manager of the club, Franck Passi explained
that the Nigerian goalkeeper will undergo
knee surgery that could rule him out for the
rest of the season.
“Vincent Enyeama will be having surgery
next week and he will not be able to play
(again) until the end of the season.
“This is because the period for recovery will
be for about three weeks or upwards.
“Enyeama’s knee is swollen so he has to go
for a scan and from there we will know
what the best form of treatment will be.
“But I don’t think he will play again this
season,” he said.
Enyeama has played 32 league matches for
Lille this season as opposed to the 35
appearances he made for Les Douges last
term in Ligue 1.
