Injured Nigeria's Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has confirmed that he had a successful surgery, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Nigerian International has been a regular starter for his Italian Serie A side Udinese since last season.

He sustained a wrist injury in the game against Genoa and the club medics decided it's better for him to undergo surgery.

"Surgery is done. Big thanks to Dr. Pigoli and his team. Played the last 2 months with a broken ligament in my hand, for now I’ll be supporting the team from the stands, recover and work hard for a comeback in top form.

"See you soon", he confirmed.

The duration of his absence is yet to be determined.
