Nigeria’s Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, has verified that two players in his squad are currently dealing with injuries as they approach the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) quarter-final against Angola on Friday evening.
Peseiro identified the affected players as Bright Osayi-Samuel and Ahmed Musa, emphasizing that both are experiencing some discomfort. Despite acknowledging their physical challenges, the 63-year-old coach refrained from
ruling out Osayi-Samuel and Musa from participating in the crucial match against Angola scheduled for Friday.
Speaking with Channels Television’s English-based reporter Austin Okon Akpan, Peseiro said: “There is injury at this moment. Bright Osayi-Samuel and Ahmed Musa have some pain, but I think they will be ready for the match tomorrow [Friday].”
Osayi-Samuel has played for the Super Eagles at the AFCON, while Musa has been a non-playing substitute in four consecutive matches.
