Nigeria will be without the duo of Lorient hardman Innocent Bonke picked up a hamstring injury during the course of the 0-0 draw against Ghana, which led to his substitution. Scan showed he will be out for a minimum of three weeks.
Per what we gathered Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze will also miss the game after picking up a muscular injury during the course of the game on Friday, when he went down unchallenged. He will be out for at least a month.
