Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is a huge doubt for Sunday’s rematch between the Super Eagles and Central African Republic in Cameroon after he picked up a knock in the first game in Lagos.
Iheanacho suffered a foot injury during the game and was replaced at the start of the second half by debutant Taiwo Awoniyi.
“There are some injuries and I don’t know if Kelechi (Iheanacho) is able to play because he had a knock,” Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr disclosed.
The 25-year-old striker scored the two goals when Nigeria beat Liberia last month in Lagos.
Genk striker Paul Onuachu did not feature in Thursday clash against Central African Republic in Lagos as he is nursing an ankle injury.
