Ighalo damaged his hamstring while in action for the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the third-place game against Tunisia at the just concluded 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). 

Ighalo scored seven goals from nine games before he went away to join the Super Eagles for AFCON 2019 where he scored five goals to finish as the tournament's highest goalscorer.

The injury ruled out the striker for two months but he has returned to light training just after a month.
