The Hull City defender has been scouted by Nigeria’s Super Eagles for the problematic right fullback position.
Odubajo suffered the serious knee injury during a non-contact incident in training, Premier League newcomers Hull confirmed in a statement on Thursday.
While Odubajo's knee ligaments remain intact, the 23-year-old will undergo surgery next week to stabilise the fracture.
It is another blow for the swash-bucking fullback, who was on the comeback trail after dislocating his patella during the off-season.
The Premier League club said in a statement: 'Moses was assessed by surgeons in London yesterday [Wednesday] who stated the player would be required to undergo more surgery to stabilise the fracture and this will be undertaken early next week.
'Positively, the 23-year-old's knee ligaments remain intact, including the MPFL (medial patella femoral ligament) reconstruction he had in the summer. The club, staff and players wish Moses a full and speedy recovery from this latest setback.'
The latest setback comes after the defender revealed this week how he was raring to make his Premier League debut.
Recall that the right-back suffered a nasty knee injury in the Tigers' first pre-season friendly against Grimsby but was finally training outside again and planned to be available before November was out.
He will now be out till the new year after the latest set back.
