AFCON 2023: Alhassan Yusuf Joins Super Eagles in Workout Despite Injury

The Super Eagles of Nigeria returned to training following their triumphant clash against the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations host, Côte d’Ivoire.

During yesterday’s training session, Alhassan Yusuf, the Royale Antwerp defensive midfielder who sustained an injury in Nigeria’s match against Equatorial Guinea, rejoined the squad in preparation for the final group-stage encounter against Guinea-Bissau.

However, reports from Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro indicate that Yusuf has been ruled out of the upcoming clash with the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau.

Despite the earlier rumours suggesting Yusuf’s tournament-ending scan results, his appearance in training implies ongoing efforts to recover from the injury.
