Gombe United starlet Mustapha Babadidi is set for another knee surgery in London in a bold bid to rescue his once promising career.
“I am waiting for my visa to travel to London for the operation. Hopefully, I will travel to London next month. But I am doing light training on my own now,” he asserted
Gombe State Sports Commission chairman Faruq Umar Yarma said:
“He will soon go for an operation to correct the injury in London. I pray Allah heals him.
“I feel for Mustapha (Babadidi), he is such a great talent and this injury has done great harm to his career but it is not over for him.”
Babadidi took the Nigeria top flight league by storm when he netted 10 goals inside the first half of the 2011/2012 season, but a knee injury he suffered in a game against Rangers could now consign him to the scrapheap of the game forever.
He was first operated in Ibadan which his London-based agent picked up the bills and he has also reportedly visited experts in the USA and UK to get a second opinion on this injury.
Born on October 16, 1995, the youngster at the height of his emergence was picked by both the Super Eagles as well as the Nigeria U17 team, but this injury will eventually deny him a chance to wear the country’s green and white jersey.
Also, a pre-contract agreement with Dutch club VVV Venlo was cancelled on account of this injury, which has sidelined the teenager since February 2012.
