Last weekend, the Super Eagles hopeful had to be substituted few minutes after scoring against New York City and initial reports had suggested that he picked up a hamstring injury.

If Fanendo Adi passes a fitness test, he could be in action on Sunday against Vancouver Whitecaps, though Portland Timbers have refused to comment on his availability for the fixture at Providence Park.
