Felix Agu suffers another setback weeks after four-month layoff

Super Eagles and Werder Bremen full-back Felix Agu has picked up another injury just weeks after he returned from a four-month lay-off, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 26-year-old suffered a syndesmosis ligament injury, which meant that he had to undergo surgery, and in turn, missed four months of action, including the AFCON 2025 tournament.

Felix Agu returned to action two weeks ago against Freiburg, playing 28 minutes, before playing another 65 minutes against Bayern Munich.

This was revealed by an MRI examination on Monday at the Paracelsus Clinic, and their head coach clarified the situation.

“In the situation we are in right now, any failure weighs even more heavily,” Daniel Thioune said about the Nigerian full-back.

“Felix had only just returned from his ankle injury. We hope he will be available to us again as soon as possible,” the German coach concluded.
