Alebiosu faces new setback after recent return to Blackburn
Ryan Alebiosu has suffered a hamstring injury during Blackburn Rovers' recent match against Hull City. The defender had just returned to club action after missing games due to a previous injury sustained at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Alebiosu had made his Nigeria debut on December 30, 2025, but was sidelined for the rest of the tournament. The club is now awaiting further assessment to determine the extent of his latest injury.
Match highlights
- Ryan Alebiosu was withdrawn at half-time in Blackburn Rovers' 1–0 loss to Hull City after picking up a hamstring injury.
- This was only his second appearance for the club since returning from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
- Alebiosu made his Nigeria debut on December 30, 2025, against Uganda but was sidelined for the remainder of the tournament due to a cut.

- Despite limited appearances, Alebiosu has attracted interest from clubs in Germany, Italy, and England, but a transfer before the close of the January window is unlikely.
