Empoli and Super Eagles defender Tyrone Ebuehi have opened up about the challenges he faced during his lengthy injury layoff, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Nigerian international suffered a serious injury in March 2024 during a Serie A clash between Empoli and Bologna — a setback that kept him out of action for nearly a year.

Ebuehi finally made his return to the pitch last weekend in a match against Cagliari, marking a significant milestone in his recovery journey.

 “It was the second serious injury of my career. I was out for a year, and it was very difficult,” he admitted.

“There were tough moments, but now I’m just happy to be back.”

Now back in the squad, the 28-year-old is focused on helping Empoli in their fight to avoid relegation.

“I feel ready and determined to contribute. I want to help the team in this final part of the season,” he added.

Empoli currently sit 18th in the Serie A standings, battling to secure their top-flight status.
