Eric Chelle, the head coach of the Super Eagles, has announced that Abdularafiu Taiwo is in good health and ready for the important Group D match against Sudan, according to Completesports. Taiwo suffered a slight injury during Nigeria’s first match at the 2024 African Nations Championship against Senegal, leading to his substitution by Harrison Uzondu in the second half. Meanwhile, first-choice goalkeeper Ani Ozoemena, who was unavailable for the game against the defending champions due to a knee issue, has not yet fully healed from his injury. Additionally, ‘It’s A Big Game’ — Chelle expresses anticipation ahead of the Home Eagles’ match against Sudan. Chelle has announced that Ozoemena will not participate in the match against Sudan. “Taiwo Abdulrafiu is fine.” Chelle mentioned at a press conference on Monday that Ani Ozoemena is injured, which led to the decision to bring in Ebenezer, someone she trusts. Nigeria will face Sudan at the Amman Stadium in Zanzibar on Tuesday night, with the match set to begin at 6pm Nigeria time.
