Super Eagles may miss Ilenikhena, two sick players for Guinea-Bissau qualifier
Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle said he could be without George Ilenikhena and at least two other players who are sick for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea-Bissau. Ilenikhena stepped in for the injured Victor Osimhen against Madagascar last Friday and scored the equaliser in Nigeria's 2-1 win. Chelle noted they will assess Ilenikhena's condition in the final training session and decide before Tuesday's match.\n\nThe qualifier is crucial for Nigeria to take the lead in Group L after opening with a win over Madagascar. Losing Ilenikhena, who provided immediate impact off the bench, alongside other unavailable players could weaken the attacking options and depth for the away game in Guinea-Bissau. Fans should consider how the team's performance might shift with a potentially altered lineup and whether the squad's depth can maintain momentum.\n\nWill you trust the Super Eagles to adapt and secure victory despite the possible absences, or do you fear the missing players could cost them crucial points in the qualifier?
