The Digest:

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is confronting a severe selection crisis just days before Nigeria's crucial World Cup playoff against Gabon, with injuries and suspensions threatening to derail the national team's qualification hopes in Rabat.

Key Points:

  • Striker Terem Moffi is ruled out with a calf injury sustained in training.
  • Cyriel Dessers remains unavailable due to an ongoing ankle injury.
  • Defender Semi Ajayi is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards.
  • Center-back Igoh Ogbu is out with a hamstring injury.
  • Ola Aina is a major doubt and unlikely to be match-ready until December.
  • Chelle must reorganize both attack and defense with limited options.
  • Gabon seeks its first World Cup ticket against a depleted Nigerian side.
