Nigeria vs Uganda: Key Super Eagles Players Risk Suspension Ahead of AFCON Clash
Four key Super Eagles players are on the brink of suspension ahead of Nigeria’s crucial Group C match against Uganda at the ongoing AFCON 2025 tournament.
Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Semi Ajayi, and goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali are all one yellow card away from missing Nigeria’s Round of 16 clash.
Nigeria’s talismanic striker, Osimhen, could be sidelined if he receives a caution on Tuesday, potentially forcing coach Eric Chelle to start Paul Onuachu in his place.

Lookman, who has scored in both of Nigeria’s AFCON matches so far, also faces the risk of suspension. Meanwhile, Semi Ajayi’s yellow card situation may prompt Chelle to consider Zaidu Sanusi as a full-back replacement. Nwabali, booked for time-wasting against Tunisia, could be replaced by Francis Uzoho if he picks up another caution.
A victory against Uganda would see the Super Eagles finish the group stage with a perfect nine points, following wins over Tanzania (2-1) and Tunisia (3-2), cementing their place in the AFCON knockout stage.
