Super Eagles Defender Felix Agu to Miss 2026 WCQ and AFCON 2025 Due to Injury

The Super Eagles face a setback as key defender Felix Agu is set to miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and potentially the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations due to a severe syndesmosis ligament injury. Agu's absence could impact Nigeria's chances in the upcoming matches against Lesotho and Benin Republic.

The Super Eagles currently sit third in Group C, needing a win against Lesotho and favorable results to boost their qualification hopes. Agu's injury adds to Nigeria's defensive concerns and raises uncertainties about their performance in the upcoming tournaments, including the AFCON in Morocco.
