An injury to Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has ruled him out of Nigeria’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations campaign.
The 27-year-old Leicester City midfielder who was named in the Super Eagles’ 25-man squad on 29 December was absent from his club side’s win over Huddersfield Town on Monday.
Meanwhile, Super Eagles Coach Jose Peseiro has called up Royal Antwerp midfielder, Alhassan Yusuf to replace Ndidi.
Also, the country is still hopeful Ndidi’s Leicester team-mate Kelechi Iheanacho will be able to join the squad.
Forward Iheanacho, 27, has missed the Foxes’ past two games in the Championship with a muscle problem.
Nigeria begin their Group A campaign against Equatorial Guinea on 14 January, and the West Africans will also face hosts Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau in the group stage.
