Gernot Rohr will be without one more trusted lieutenant, after the NFF confirmed Wing-back Ola Aina has pulled out of Sunday’s International friendly against Brazil.
Aina joins a growing list, which includes Kenneth Omeruo, Samuel Kalu and long term absentee Ahmed Musa, all of whom have also been ruled out of the friendly due to injury.
On Wednesday, the Federation confirmed in a Tweet that the Italy-based defender suffered a domestic injury and will not be available for selection against the Selecao.
