One win away from qualifying for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d'Ivoire, the Super Eagles could be without Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian striker felt some discomfort during training on Wednesday 14 June. The medical staff carried out tests on Thursday 15 June to find out more about his injury. Coach Jose Peseiro may be reviewing his plans. His 25-year-old strike partner is coming off a fine season with 15 goals and 8 assists in 35 games in all competitions.
With Guinea-Bissau (1st, 10 points) beating Sao Tomé and Principte 1-0, Nigeria (2nd, 9 points) must beat Sierra Leone to regain their place at the top and, most importantly, book their ticket to Côte d'Ivoire.
