Libya goalkeeper and Captain Muhammad Nashnoush has been ruled out from playing against Nigeria in Tuesday evening’s AFCON qualifier between the two countries.
The captain of the Mediterranean Knights received an automatic one-match ban after picking up a booking in the fifth minute of the match day three tie against the Super Eagles in Uyo last Saturday.
Nashnoush is one of Libya’s most important players and was in goal when they won the 2014 African Nations Championship in South Africa.
The Al-Ahly Tripoli star has gone the distance in all the matches played by the North Africans in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
