Injury not too serious says Super Eagles defender

Kenneth Omeruo shrugged off an injury to last the entire duration of the game as Middlesbrough defeated Ipswich Town 2 - 0 at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday.


And the highly rated starlet has insisted that the injury he suffered is not serious and will not have to face a spell on the side-lines.

“I only got a knock on my right knee and I am feeling fine today. It is nothing serious,” Kenneth Omeruo said briefly said.

The Nigeria international - once on the books of Standard Liege and ADO Den Haag - has now flickered into life since his loan move from Chelsea in the January transfer window.

He has started and completed the last 3 matches played for Boro in the Championship after being an unused substitute in previous games against Watford, Blackburn Rovers, Wigan and Leicester City.

A transfer to one of the mid table English Premier League teams was on the cards had it not been for a shoulder injury Kenneth Omeruo picked up at last summer's Fifa Confederations Cup.

Middlesbrough sit 13th in the Championship standings after 34 rounds of matches played.
