There were initial fears that the shot stopper could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines which also put his participation at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in doubt.

“SpartaRotterdam goalkeeper Maduka Okoye just informed us that his shoulder injury is not that bad. The keeper expects to be able to play against AZ again next Sunday. Okoye had to be sidelined against Ajax with pain,” Dutch online news hub Rijnmond Sport tweeted.
