Nigeria will play in the WCQs against both South Africa and Benin Republic
Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze is facing uncertainty ahead of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa.
The player sustained an injury during a training session, raising concerns about his participation in Friday’s match.
Although the team doctors are closely monitoring his condition and plan to conduct further assessments on Thursday, his availability is now a doubt for the crucial encounter.
Despite battling with injuries in recent weeks, Chukwueze had managed to recover and join the team’s camp.
Adding to Nigeria’s woes, key players including Victor Osimhen and William Troost-Ekong will also be absent from the match due to injury, further complicating the team’s preparations for the qualifiers.
