CFR Cluj boss, Dan Petrescu has voiced his concern over the fitness of Nigerian defender Kenneth Omeruo, who has yet to make his debut for the Romanian side due to a knee injury.
Omeruo, who joined the club this summer on a free transfer, has been sidelined since his arrival and was an unused substitute during Cluj’s goalless Europa League qualifier against Hungary’s Paksi FC.
Petrescu, speaking via the club’s official website, revealed that the medical staff are working tirelessly to get the Super Eagles centre-back back in shape.
“Omeruo is not ready. I don’t know if you know, but he has a big problem with his knee,” said Petrescu.
“We are trying to solve his problem, we are trying to get him back on his feet. When he trains normally with the team, he will have a chance to play. Until then, he cannot train with the team.”
The 31-year-old defender, a former Kasimpasa player, had his contract with the Turkish club terminated in February before making the switch to the Romanian champions.
