Ejiogu to miss out of Enyimba's Champions League tie against Smouha SC

Chijioke Ejiogu
Enyimba FC Goalkeeper Chijioke Ejiogu has been ruled out of their Champions League first round, second leg tie against Smouha SC this weekend.

The 30-year-old who picked up a shoulder injury a fortnight ago that seemed to have healed, flared it during training on Tuesday; effectively keeping him out of Kadiri Ikhana's 18-man squad to Alexandria.

Report on the club's website have it that Moses Ocheje would accompany Femi Thomas as the second goalkeeper.

Ejiogu was in goal for Enyimba in the first leg which The Elephants won by a lone goal, thanks to Raphael Boumsong's thumping header in the 56th.

He had also featured and kept a clean sheet in the preliminary round, second leg fixture in Cotonou against Buffles du Borgou, a game Enyimba also won one nil.
