“Onazi felt some pain in his muscle in the last two days, so he needs more time to recover,” his agent Ayo Makinwa told Sports Extra.
“He is eager to return and play for the team but that is up to the coach to decide how to re-introduce him into the team.
“Hopefully, he (Onazi) should be ready for the game against Alanyaspor or Ankaragucu.”
Onazi, who joined Trabzonspor in 2016, has made 77 appearances scoring seven goals and making four
Meanwhile, Turkish Super Lig club are reportedly interested in acquiring the services of Leicester City midfielder, Daniel Amartey, as a possible replacement for Ogenyi Onazi ahead of the January transfer window.
According to Turkish newspaper Star, Trabzonspor are in desperate need of a central midfielder as Onazi is still on the sidelines after picking up an Achilles injury at the start of the 2018/19 season.
Star are of the belief that Karadeniz Firtinasi are looking at various options in the market and Amartey has emerged as a possible option.
Amartey has fallen out of favour at King Power Stadium as manager Brendan Rodgers has been choosing Wilfried Ndidi as his defensive midfielder.
