Empoli has confirmed that defender Tyrone Ebuehi will be sidelined due to injury, ruling him out of Nigeria's upcoming friendlies against Ghana and Mali. The versatile full-back sustained the injury during Empoli's 1-0 home defeat to Bologna last Friday.
The 28-year-old came off the bench in the 66th minute of the game, replacing Emmanuel Gyasi. Subsequent tests revealed a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee.
In a statement on the club's official website, Empoli announced, "The footballer, after having undergone an initial specialist evaluation to establish the recovery path, began the appropriate treatments with the Azzurri healthcare staff."
Ebuehi has made 15 league appearances for Empoli this season.
