The injury means the Super Eagles assistant captain could be in a race against time to make the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations squad or miss the tournament altogether.
Next year’s tournament will kick off in June and initial diagnosis could rule out Onazi’s chances of getting in the Nigeria squad for the tournament.
