Nigeria’s Super Eagles defender Igoh Ogbu is ruled out of the team’s international friendly against Portugal due to an injury. Multiple Nigerian outlets report that team officials confirm Ogbu picked up the problem during the Super Eagles’ training session on Saturday evening. The Punch describes the injury as a suspected Achilles tendon issue, while Premium Times and Vanguard report that the injury sustained in training is enough to keep him out of the match against Portugal. The reports agree that Ogbu’s absence is confirmed by team management ahead of the friendly. No source provided further medical details, a timetable for recovery, or information about a replacement player in the brief summaries. The discrepancy across the outlets is limited to the description of the specific injury; all accounts attribute his exclusion to an injury suffered during training on Saturday evening. The friendly proceeds without Ogbu as Nigeria’s defence line-up changes for the fixture.
