The shoulder injury suffered by Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye in the first half of Sparta Rotterdam’s Eredivisie clash at home to champions Ajax is not as bad as initially feared.

Okoye came off worse after clashing with an opposing attacker in the 24th minute.

The 22-year-goalkeeper is confident that he will take back his place between the sticks when Sparta Rotterdam trade tackles with AZ Alkmaar on Sunday.
