The Super Eagles' preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers have been dealt a blow with striker Paul Onuachu picking up an injury, joining Victor Osimhen on the sidelines. Onuachu was injured during Trabzonspor's 5-0 victory over Gençlerbirliği in the Turkish Süper Lig on Sunday, despite scoring twice in the opening 22 minutes. He was substituted in the 44th minute, raising concerns for Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle ahead of Nigeria's qualifying campaign later this month. The team will now have to assess the fitness of both strikers as they prepare for the crucial matches.
