William Troost-Ekong, the Super Eagles’ captain, is a major injury concern ahead of Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe and Rwanda.
The Al Kholood defender has missed his team’s last two league games due to a muscle injury, and there has been no official update on his recovery.
Head coach Eric Chelle will be hoping for a quick return, especially since key players Semi Ajayi, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and Raphael Onyedika are all doubtful due to injuries.
Nigeria will play Rwanda in Kigali on March 21 before hosting Zimbabwe four days later.
