The announcement that Wilfred Ndidi has joined Kelechi Iheanacho on the injury list has delivered a serious blow to the Super Eagles of Nigeria's hopes of winning the 2023 AFCON as he is very important to the squad.
Both athletes are currently recovering from injuries that may prevent them from competing in the tournament.
The master of Leicester City's midfield was sidelined for the team's 4-1 triumph over Huddersfield on New Year's Day because of an injury that was not made public following their victory in Cardiff the previous week.
While acknowledging the ailment, manager Enzo Maresca cast doubt on his participation at the AFCON.
The Leicester Mercury cited Maresca as stating, "He's still scheduled to join up with Nigeria this week, but there's no guarantee he'll be fit enough to play."
Nothing about this scenario has improved.
