Nigeria international sits out midweek training with back injury

Groningen are waiting to discover if Oluwafemi Ajilore will be available to face RKC Waalwijk after the midfielder sustained a back injury while on international duty. The Nigeria player picked up the problem in last Saturday's World Cup qualifying victory over Kenya and is now a doubt for this weekend's Eredivisie trip to RKC. Ajilore has undergone a scan and the results have been passed to Groningen's medical team for further examination. But it is not yet known if the 24-year-old will pass a fitness test after missing a midweek training session. "Nigeria immediately scanned my back and I have presented our club doctor with a copy of the scan," he told Groningen's official website. "They will now assess the seriousness of the situation in Holland. "I still have problems with my back, especially when I want to run hard. I therefore decided not to train on Wednesday. "I hope that it will all be easy and I will soon be able to play again for Groningen."
