Exclusive : Porto Young Star Chidozie Awaziem Will Miss Super Eagles Friendly Against Mali

Porto defender Chidozie Awaziem will not make his international debut for the Super Eagles when they face Mali on Friday as he is yet to be issued a visa to France.

Awaziem’s intermediary Babawo Mohammed has revealed that there is a small probability that he will be issued the traveling document before the second friendly against Luxembourg.

“Chidozie has not yet been issued a visa; he is not going to make it to the Mali game, maybe next game, ” Babawo Mohammed told allnigeriasoccer.com.

“The Nigeria Football Federation is aware of his situation. I am not sure when he will be issued the visa.”

The 19-year-old Awaziem was handed his first-ever invitation to the national team after breaking into the first team of Porto in the second half of last season.
