AFCON 2023: Peseiro Gives Update On Nwabali’s Injury Ahead Of Nigeria vs Angola

Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, has said they will assess Stanley Nwabali ahead of their game against Angola.

VerseSports earlier reported that Nigeria qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, thanks to a 2-0 win over Cameroon on Saturday.

Nwabali was stretchered off during the last moments of the game after colliding with Georges-Kévin N’Koudou.

He was replaced by Francis Uzoho, who he displaced in the national team.

After the match, Peseiro told reporters: “We will assess the state of Nwabali’s injury in the next 24 to 48 hours.

“It’s difficult to assess his condition while we were in the match. But I am hoping that he will be fit for the next match.

“I want him to play. And the players want him to play.”
