It was earlier reported that Super Eagle’s midfielder, Babatunde Michael will undergo arm surgery to bounce back to form.. The story now is that he has undergone successful surgery on his fractured wrist and since returned to the team’s base in Campinas, ahead of the trip to Brasilia for the second round match against France.

Babatunde was at the wrong end of a ferocious shot played by fellow midfielder Ogenyi Onazi in the final Group F match the Super Eagles played against Argentina.

Onazi has jokingly said that Babatunde stopped his goal bound shot.

“I swear that was a sure goal if not for Tunde’s hand, I wish him quick recovery”, he said.
