Ibrahim Gyaran, Super Eagles team doctor, had said that the coaching crew will be informed about the result of the scan on Friday and the media spokesperson for the team had revealed also that Akpeyi and Bright Dike have been retained in camp.
The scan results show that Ejide sustained a muscle tear, which will take at least three weeks to heal, which will effectively rule him out of the football tournament.
The Super Eagles are in Faro, preparing for their last warm-up match against Sparta Rotterdam before moving to South Africa where they kick off their tournament with the match against Burkina Faso on January 21.
