Nigerian defender Felix Agu has undergone successful surgery for a syndesmosis ligament injury (high ankle sprain) sustained in Werder Bremen’s Bundesliga clash against St. Pauli.
The club confirmed the operation and shared a post-surgery photo of Agu, who will begin rehabilitation soon. The injury is expected to sideline him for several months, ruling him out of the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.
Agu, initially called up for Nigeria’s World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin Republic, has since withdrawn from the squad.
In other news….. BBNaija star and former winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has responded to critics who dragged her for partying weeks after her sister’s burial, saying grief has no manual.
Phyna, who lost her sister Ruth Otabor in August and buried her in September, came under fire after a video showed her clubbing with actress Regina Daniels.
While Regina earlier defended her, saying people should stop judging others for how they choose to heal, Phyna has now spoken up on X, writing: “Grief has no manual, and it doesn’t look the same on everyone. Stop telling people how to mourn.”
She wrote:
“Grief has no manual, no fixed face, and no timetable. The fact that I choose to keep living, smiling, or sharing moments does not erase the pain I carry. Respect the process, even if you do not understand it. If you cannot extend compassion, then at least extend silence.”
While many fans rallied around Phyna, praising her strength and honesty, some still criticized her for clubbing just weeks after her sister’s burial, insisting it was “too soon.”
