Nigeria international, Felix Agu, has successfully undergone surgery to repair a syndesmosis ligament injury.
The Werder Bremen defender picked up the knock during their Bundesliga clash with St. Pauli last week.
Subsequent medical examinations confirmed the damage to his syndesmosis ligament, a type of high ankle injury known to require lengthy recovery time.
Reports suggest Agu could be sidelined for several months, putting his participation in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco in serious doubt.
Werder Bremen shared a post-surgery photo of the player, confirming the procedure went smoothly.
Agu is now set to begin his rehabilitation at the club’s medical facility in a bid to return to full fitness.
The 24-year-old had been named in Nigeria’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin Republic, but he was forced to withdraw following the injury setback.
