Super Eagles Face Injury Concerns Ahead of September AFCON Qualifiers

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle faces growing selection concerns ahead of September’s AFCON qualifiers, with several defensive and midfield options dealing with injuries. Marseille midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi suffered a knee injury in the club’s 2-0 defeat to Monaco. The setback could affect his bid for more playing time at Marseille and a place in Nigeria’s national team squad. Amedspor winger Yira Sor has also been ruled out for six weeks with a Grade 2B hamstring injury. He was injured shortly after making his Super Lig debut, despite scoring in a promising start following his move from Genk. With more players reportedly unavailable or doubtful, Chelle may need to consider alternative options before the team gathers for the international window.
