Former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu has reportedly undergone successful surgery on his leg at a hospital in Enugu state.

Contrary to reports that Chukwu is in a sorry state and was in need of about $50,000 dollars for immediate operation in the United States, Independent reports that he is currently recuperating and resting at an undisclosed hotel in the state.

It was gathered that it was based on doctor’s advice that the Rangers Technical Adviser was asked to stay in a hotel instead of going home after the successful operation to avoid constant disturbance from many who will be tempted to go and visit him.

Initial reports making the rounds gave the impression that the former Green Eagles captain is in dire need of funds, a scenario which is far from the truth as Sportinglife.ng gathered that Chukwu is entitled to a monthly take-home of N700, 000 as Technical Adviser of Rangers international, a club which he did not only play for but also coached in the course of his soccer career.
