Before Nigeria’s 2027 AFCON qualifying match against Madagascar on Friday, Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle gave an update on three players.
Chelle told the media on Thursday nite that Dele-Bashiru, Alhassan Yusuf, and Victor Osimhen would not play because of injury.
The Malian also voiced confidence that the Super Eagles wouldn’t have any issues without them.
“We have a lot of injured players,” Chelle said to reporters on the ailing players. Dele-Bashiru, Victor Osimhen, and Alhassan Yusuf, but it doesn’t bother us.
“We are prepared; Madagascar is a large team, so it will be challenging. They defeated Nigeria in 2019, so it will be a battle.
The Nigeria-Madagascar game is scheduled for Friday nite in Uyo.
