Super Eagles midfielder Peter Etebo has broken his silence on the injury woes he suffered last season, as he prepares for a fresh start with Turkish club Genclerbirligi, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Etebo’s absence from the Super Eagles has now stretched to 1,345 days, with injuries continuing to disrupt a once-promising international career.
Genclerbirligi spent much of the 2025/26 Turkish Super Lig season fighting to avoid relegation, entering the final matchday knowing that defeat would send them down, before a three-nil win over Trabzonspor at Papara Park secured their top-flight status and condemned Antalyaspor to the drop.
The 30-year-old, however, was unable to play any meaningful role in the survival fight after rupturing his Achilles tendon in training, an injury that ruled him out for almost the entire campaign, with subsequent muscle problems further slowing his rehabilitation.
His only competitive appearance of the season came on August 9, when he started against Samsunspor before being substituted after 42 minutes in a two-one defeat, finishing the campaign with just one appearance, 42 minutes played, no goals and no assists.
