Super Eagles defender Zaidu Sanusi underwent a successful surgery on Monday at a hospital in Sao Francisco, Porto, as reported.

The surgery was supervised by Professor Jose Carlos Noronha, as per a Portuguese website.

Sanusi sustained the injury during FC Porto’s Primeira Liga match against Estrela da Amadora two weeks ago. This occurred in his first game for the Dragons after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.

The 26-year-old left-back is set to be sidelined for approximately seven to eight months. However, he is expected to make his comeback at the beginning of the next season.

This season, Sanusi has made five league appearances for Porto, scoring one goal.
