Wilfred Ndidi is suspended for Sunday’s CAF 2026 World Cup Playoffs final after he got his second booking of the qualifying series against Gabon.
Ndidi’s first booking in the qualifying series was in March in Rwanda and he was then cautioned as early as the seventh minute for a foul Thursday night against Gabon in Rabat.
He provided the assist for Chidera Ejuke to score in extra time for Nigeria to regain their lead and also threaded the pass that set up Victor Osimhen to miss the sitter in stoppage time.
His place is most likely to be taken by Brentford defensive midfielder Frank Onyeka with Club Brugge star Raphael Onyedika another option.
