Onyebuchi sustained the injury during Rangers’ Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, clash against Bendel Insurance, ruling him out of the 2024 African Nations Championship.

The dependable centre-back subsequently underwent treatment and rehabilitation and recovered sufficiently to return to action.

However, he aggravated the injury during a pre-season fixture in August, necessitating the latest surgical procedure.

Rangers will now hope Onyebuchi makes a full and speedy recovery as he begins another rehabilitation programme.
