Nigeria National Team Faces Injury Crisis Ahead of Crucial Qualifiers
Nigeria faces injury concerns as Onyedika and Dele-Bashiru race against time. Onyedika, a key figure in Club Brugge's midfield, suffered a hamstring injury during a Belgian Pro League match, leaving his availability for the Super Eagles uncertain.
Head coach Eric Chelle is worried about the midfield duo's fitness ahead of crucial qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin. Additionally, defender Marvellous Freedom's knee injury adds to the team's woes.
The Flying Eagles also suffer as Freedom will miss the 2025 FIFA World Cup in Chile. Coach Aliyu Zubairu has recalled Haruna Aliyu to replace Freedom.
The injuries pose a challenge for Nigeria's national and youth teams in upcoming fixtures.
