2019 AFCON : Super Eagles First-Choice Right-Back Doubtful To Face Guinea
Published: June 24, 2019Abdullahi Shehu is doubtful to suit up for Nigeria when they take on Guinea in their second group match at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, allnigeriasoccer.com.
The Super Eagles first-choice right-back aggravated a pre-existing injury in the 1-0 win vs Burundi which led to his substitution in the 42nd minute of the contest at the Alexandria Stadium.
The initial prognosis from the Super Eagles medical team is that he would not recover in time to face the Syli Stars.
Coach Gernot Rohr is also sweating over the fitness of left-back Jamilu Collins and Bordeaux winger Samuel Kalu.
The Super Eagles trained today but the Nigerian Federation barred the media and fans from watching proceedings.
On Tuesday afternoon starting from 1630 hours, they will hold their last workout pre-Guinea and it is open for only fifteen minutes, while the mandatory pre-match press conference is at 1100 hours.
