Super
Eagles midfielder, Chrisantus Ejike
Uzoenyi has confessed that he almost
passed out when Black Stars defender,
Kwabena Adusei elbowed him leading
to a minor concoction mid-way into the
first half of the CHAN semi-final clash
between Nigeria and Ghana.
Team medics described Uzoenyi’s
condition at the time as Cortical Artery
seizure, noting that it took quite a
while to get his pulse back from the leg
region.
“It was scary but we thank God, it
didn’t degenerate more than that and
the player’s recovery rate was
phenomenal”, one of the medical
official attached to the team noted.
The player himself was quoted by
Team Media Officer, Ben Alaiya, as
saying he momentarily passed out and
didn’t know what was happening until
he was stretchered out for treatment.
“That player wanted to kill me with
that vicious elbow and I was blank and
did not know where I was until I
started hearing noises, but I was
determined to continue that was why I
was rushing back to the pitch. But I
think it was God that saved my life
because some lesser cases have
resulted in fatalities”.
