Full back Tyronne Ebuehi suffered an injury during a Serie A action between Empoli and Milan, on Sunday.

Ebuehi sustained the injury shortly before Milan’s second goal and was forced to leave the field.

The 27-year-old former Benfica defender was replaced by Italian player Filippo Ranocchia. Unfortunately, Empoli went on to lose the game 3-0.

It is however uncertain how severe the injury is, but the defender could be out of action for a short while.

He is also not going to be with Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.
