Super Eagles Face Setback Ahead of World Cup Playoffs Final vs DR Congo
The Super Eagles, led by coach Eric Chelle, faced a setback as key player Wilfred Ndidi got suspended for the World Cup playoffs final against DR Congo. Despite Ndidi's absence, Nigeria managed to secure a spot in the final with a 3-1 victory over Gabon, thanks to Victor Osimhen's brace.
The match saw extra time goals from Akor Adam, Chidera Ejuk, and Mario Lemina. The absence of Ndidi poses a challenge for the team's midfield, with potential replacements being Frank Onyeka and Raphael Onyedika.
Coach Chelle expressed frustration but remains confident in the squad's depth.
