Anas Mohammed Out Of Soccer Action.

Meanwhile, U-15 National Team’s defender Anas Mohammed from Kano State has been ruled out for the remainder of the team’s first phase training camp, after he injured his knee in training on Monday night.

The JSS 3 student of Government Secondary School, Kano, hit his right knee on a concrete pavement stand close to the team’s training pitch after losing his balance, while trying to make a cross in training on the night.

Team’s doctor, Olarinoye Ayodeji, said he would be out for at least one week.

“He needs to rest the leg for at least one week, because the impact made with the pavement has caused him a great pain, but it’s not something serious.”

Fourteen year old Anas who was also part of the Under-13 National Team that won the 2010 International Youth Championship played in England, has however revealed, on Tuesday morning that he was feeling much better and hopes he will be reinvited to the team in May, for the final stage of the team’s camping.

“I’m feeling good now, my knee does not hurt like it did yesterday, although I cannot run yet, but I know I will be fit to play again in few days.”

Thirty players will be picked from the forty five currently in camp, for the final phase of camping in May.
