Nigeria vs Ghana: Super Eagles hit with double injury blow ahead of Abuja clash

 

Augustine Eguavoen, the coach of Nigeria, may be obliged to make two changes to the team that played Ghana in the first leg of their 2022 World Cup playoff last week.

According to OwnGoalNigeria, Innocent Bonke suffered a hamstring injury during the game and is anticipated to miss up to three weeks of play.

Bonke had stepped in for Wilfred Ndidi, who was injured, in the Super Eagles team.

Villarreal winger, Samuel Chukwueze, could only be unavailable for the reverse fixture at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.

Chukuwueze also suffered a muscular injury during the match in Kumasi last Friday.

Oghenekaro Etebo or Onyeka Frank will start against the Black Stars in Bonke’s absence, while Eguavoen has Dennis Emmanuel and Ademola Lookman to choose from if Chukwueze fails to recover.

The first leg of the tie ended goalless.
