 AFCON: Super Eagles goalkeeper, Nwabali misses training ahead of Angola clash


Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, was missing as the rest of the squad trained on Monday.


Nwabali had to be stretchered out during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations last-16 clash against Cameroon.

Speaking to reporters over the weekend, Nwabali said: “I don’t know [if I would be fit for the next game]. I will still come back.”
