Semi Ajayi Suspended, Ideye Warns Super Eagles of 'Osimhen Problem' Ahead of World Cup Playoff
Semi Ajayi has been suspended for Nigeria's crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff against Gabon due to receiving a second yellow card in the last qualifying match. Meanwhile, former Super Eagles striker Ideye has cautioned the team about over-relying on Victor Osimhen's goal-scoring prowess.
Osimhen has been a standout performer in the qualifiers, nearing the goal tally of Nigeria's late top scorer Rashidi Yekini. The absence of Ajayi and Lookman will be felt in the upcoming matches against Gabon and Morocco.
