YOBO injured during cup match

Nigeria will now have to sweat on the fitness of skipper Joseph Yobo after he was injured in Wednesday’s cup triumph by Fenerbache. Ahead of next month’s World Cup qualifiers, Yobo was forced out of the final after just 30 minutes by injury as his club trounced Bursaspor 4-0 to clinch the cup for the fifth time. The nature and extent of Yobo’s injury has yet to be ascertained. This will a great source of concern for Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi, who already has been forced to replace Inter Milan midfielder Joel Obi who suffered a thigh injury leading to the build-up of qualifying matches for both the 2014 World Cup and the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. Fenerbahce lost the Turkish league title to rivals Galatasaray in a derby on Saturday which triggered violence. As a result of finishing second in the league, Fenerbahce have thus qualified for next season's Champions League while Turkish Cup finalists Bursaspor will feature in the Europa League.
