However, one day later he was back in action and actively participated in training for the quarterfinals against Palancas Negras.
While reports suggesting Nwabali is available have yet to be officially confirmed by the Super Eagles head coach or the team’s head of media, the 27-year-old is expected to be available for the showdown against Angola. It is understood that it is expected to be ready. /p>
This news brings a positive outlook to the Super Eagles and Nigerian football fans. Official confirmation is expected to take place during the coach’s pre-game press conference.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles are determined to beat Angola and advance to the semi-finals, where they will face either Cape Verde or South Africa.
However, the potential return of a goalkeeper with links to Union Saint-Gilloise has increased optimism about the team’s prospects in this crucial AFCON match.
