Nigeria International and Toronto FC striker, Bright Dike, has been ruled out for the 2014 World Cup Campaign after suffering a torn Achilles.
The 27-year-old striker had been expected to play a key role for Toronto FC in 2014 and was a candidate for the Super Eagles' World Cup squad, but his latest injury has put an end to those dreams.
The injury comes almost two years after Dike suffered the very same problem with the Portland Timbers. He worked his way back from that injury and played well enough to attract the attention of the national side.
showed some flashes of his pedigree for the Canadian club in 2013, but it was his goalscoring performance in Nigeria's 2-2 friendly clash against Italy in November that saw him rise to prominence.
Toronto FC will be left with striker Jermain Defoe and Gilbertoto.
