Joseph Yobo's hamstring injury will keep him out of the side until after the Christmas period.
'A scan carried out showed that it was a familiar hamstring injury that I should rest until the end of the year,' Yobo told the BBC.
Yobo hopes he will still be fit for the Nations Cup in Angola next month.
Yobo's Nigeria are set to take on Egypt, Mozambique and Benin in the group phase of the competition.
Speaking about what he has been told by the doctors, he said: 'They anticipate that I should be fully back at the end of December.
'Unfortunately that will cost me a chance to help out my club at this demanding and crucial stage of the season.'
