Super Eagles' Nwabali at Risk of Missing AFCON 2025 Fixture Due to Injury Concerns
Super Eagles' head coach Eric Chell disclosed that first-choice goalkeeper Stanlei Nwabali is battling knee and ankle pain, potentially causing him to miss Nigeria's upcoming AFCON 2025 match against Uganda. Despite already qualifying for the round of 16 with wins over Tanzania and Tunisia, Nwabali's injury concerns have raised questions about his availability.
Chell hinted at a potential surprise lineup or rotation due to Nwabali's condition, with midfielders like Frank Onyeka also dealing with ankle issues. The team may opt to rest key players like Nwabali to ensure full fitness for the knockout stage.
Other goalkeepers like Franci Uzoho and Ama Obasogi are available as alternatives. Nigeria faces Uganda in their final group game as they aim to maintain their top spot in Group C.
