Super Eagles facing striker crisis ahead of Equatorial Guinea clash

Nigeria has suffered another injury blow ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, with Sadiq Umar withdrawing from the event that begins on Saturday.

Umar sustained a knee injury and is anticipated to miss at least three weeks of action.

The Real Sociedad striker has already gone back to Spain, where he will be treated by the LaLiga club’s medics.

His departure leaves Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro with Victor Osimhen as the sole fit striker in camp.

Terem Moffi is scheduled to join the squad as a replacement for Victor Boniface, who injured his groyne prior to the event.

Taiwo Awoniyi, the Nottingham Forest striker, did not even make the final roster due to injury.

Kanyidaily recalls that Super Eagles lose 2-0 to Guinea in pre-AFCON friendly match.
