Royal Antwerp midfielder, Alhassan Yusuf, will now replace the injured Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi as the Super Eagles prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations to be held in Cote d’Ivoire.

Team spokesman Babafemi Raji yesterday disclosed that Ndidi has been replaced by the 23-year-old uncapped Yusuf, after Ndidi missed his team’s runaway Championship leaders Leicester City’s 4-1 win over Huddersfield Town on Monday due to an unspecified injury.

The three-time African champions are training in the United Arab Emirates ahead of the tournament.
According to a tweet on the Super Eagles official twitter (now “X”) handle, a total of 17 players have arrived the Super Eagles’ camp in Abu Dhabi ahead of the AFCON.
