Injured Yusuf takes toll on Super Eagles Coach, Peseiro

Posted : 18 January 2024

The Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, gave a shocking update during a pre-match news conference on Wednesday in Abidjan. He provided information about the status of Alhassan Yusuf, the defensive midfielder from Antwerp FC in Belgium, who has now been completely ruled out of the crucial match against Cote D'Ivoire on Thursday.


Peseiro confirmed on Wednesday, during the team's news conference ahead of Nigeria's second match at the ongoing African Cup of Nations in Cote d'Ivoire, that Alhassan Yusuf won't be available for the match against the host, Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire, at the Stade Olympique Alassan Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan.


According to the coach, the defensive midfielder from Royal Antwerp FC in Belgium will only be in contention for the third match against Guinea Bissau.


Recall that the combative midfielder was substituted due to injury on Sunday during the Super Eagles' game against Equatorial Guinea, which ended 1-1.


However, the coach confirmed that Victor Osimhen, the striker from Napoli FC in Italy and the reigning African Footballer of the Year, would be available for the match against Cote d'Ivoire on Thursday.


The Portuguese coach also revealed that Kelechi Iheanacho, the playmaker from Leicester City in England, was close to playing, while Terem Moffi, the striker from OC Nice FC in France, was catching up with the rest of the squad as expected.
