Uzoho has been out with an injury he sustained in during Super Eagles’ friendly game against Brazil which ended 1-1 in October 2019.

More than a year after that injury, the 22-year-old played in APEOL’s 3-0 win over Ermis in a Cypriot First Division game on Saturday, January 9, 2021. 

“It has been a very long and hard way back. Happy to wear this shirt for the first time in a league match and I hope it’s the start of many beautiful memories,” the Nigeria international wrote on Instagram. 

While he was recovering from injury, the 21-year-old secured a move to Cypriot club APOEL FC on a three-year deal. 

Uzoho joined the club from Deportivo La Coruna after three loan stints away from the club.
