Super Eagles goal scorer against South Africa Fisayo Dele Bashiru and Semi Ajayi have both been declared fit for today’s crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Benin in Abidjan.
A top official informed SCORENigeria: “Both players are available for selection. There are no injury worries in the team.”
Both players trained fully with the rest of the squad when they felt the pitch of the Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan Sunday evening.
Turkey-based forward Dele Bashiru injured his thigh against South Africa Friday night and was forced out of the game on the hour.
West Bromwich Albion defender Ajayi, who has been the main stay in the Super Eagles central defence since the AFCON earlier this year, asked to be replaced after he suffered a knock in the South Africa game.
