Nigeria officials have disclosed that goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa has been ruled out of a friendly against Mexico due to an ankle injury he suffered in training.
NFF technical director, Austin Eguavoen, who will lead out a squad of NPFL stars for the friendly on July 3 in Los Angeles, USA, announced the withdrawal of the Heartland goalkeeper.
“A scan showed he tore a ligament in his ankle, so he’s out,” Eguavoen said.
“Two goalkeepers, Nwabili and John Noble, will be the ones for the trip,” Eguavoen said.
