In a setback for the Super Eagles, William Troost-Ekong and Zaidu Sanusi have been ruled out of Nigeria’s AFCON 2023 clash against Guinea-Bissau. Troost-Ekong, who scored the winning goal against Cote d’Ivoire, suffered a hamstring injury, while Sanusi sustained an injury in the same game. The PAOK Salonica player might be replaced by Kenneth Omeruo in the starting lineup.
The absence of these key players raises concerns for Nigeria as they face the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau in Group A at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan. Troost-Ekong’s notable contribution to the team and Sanusi’s absence from training further complicates the defensive strategy.
Fans speculate on potential replacements, with suggestions for Omeruo and Awaziem, emphasizing the need for a solid defense. Despite the challenges, optimism prevails as supporters express confidence in the team’s ability to secure victory. The match outcome will significantly impact Nigeria’s AFCON 2023 campaign, and fans eagerly await the performance of the Super Eagles in this crucial encounter
