Meanwhile, left-back Bruno Onyemaechi has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, further depleting the team’s defensive options.
AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze is also uncertain for the upcoming matches due to an injury concern, adding to the team’s injury woes.
Additionally, Moses Simon, Zaidu Sanusi, and Tyrone Ebuehi are already sidelined for the qualifiers due to long-term injuries.
However, there is a glimmer of hope as vice-captain William Troost-Ekong has returned to training after undergoing surgery following the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, potentially bolstering the team’s defense.
