Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu will miss Saturday's Turkish Super Lig clash between Trabzonspor and Alanyaspor due to a muscle injury sustained during training on Friday. The club announced that the 31-year-old experienced "pain and stiffness in the upper anterior thigh muscle group" and has been removed from the match squad. Treatment has begun.
