Michael Babatunde ruled out with broken arm

Michael Babatunde has been ruled out of the rest of the World Cup after a shot from one of his Nigeria teammates broke his arm.

The midfielder was forced off during the Super Eagles' 3-2 defeat to Argentina when he accidentally blocked a powerful strike from Ogenyi Onazi.

The News Nigeria confirmed that the 22-year-old had a scan after the match which revealed the injury, ending his involvement in the Brazil tournament.

Nigeria finished second in Group F, setting up a last-16 tie with France next week.
