THE man in charge of the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the ongoing 2023 AFCON tournament, Jose Peseiro, has told reporters that he is yet to be sure if Stanley Nwabali will be fit against Angola.
Stanley Nwabali sustained a mild ligament injury in Nigeria's 2-0 win against Cameroon during the Round of 16 fixtures as Francis Uzoho had to be called upon to replace him before the end of the game.
The Chippa United goalie has returned to full training with his teammates, but remains unknown if he will be fit to play the game against Angola in the quarterfinals.
“We will do the final test on Thursday; after that, we will decide whether he can start or not,” Peseiro told reporters.
“But we are confident in the other goalkeepers in the team. We have Francis Uzoho and Olorunleke Ojo. They are capable of replacing Stanley,” he added.
The Super Eagles will be hoping to defeat Angola tomorrow and edge closer to securing what could be their fourth AFCON title.
