The Nigeria national football team have been dealt an injury setback after Abdulrasheed Lawal was ruled out of the Unity Cup.
Lawal picked up a knock that will prevent him from taking part in the tournament, forcing a late change to the squad ahead of the competition. His absence is a blow to the team’s preparations, with the player expected to play a role in the national side’s plans.
The coaching staff will now look to adjust their options as they aim to maintain momentum in the Unity Cup despite the disruption.
Further updates on the severity of the injury and recovery timeline are expected after medical assessments.
