Benjamin Frederick ruled out of 2025 AFCON due to knee injury
Benjamin Frederick, a promising young defender for the Super Eagles, will miss the 2025 AFCON tournament due to a knee injury sustained while playing for FCV Dender. His absence is a significant blow to Nigeria's defense, as he had quickly become an integral part of the squad.
Frederick's rise to prominence earned him his first senior call-up during the Mai United Cup, where he impressed with his performances. His absence will pose a challenge for Nigeria's preparations, especially with uncertainties around Ola Aina's availability for the tournament.
