Nigeria manager Eric Chelle awaits medical clearance before determining whether Stanley Nwabali can feature against DR Congo in the World Cup qualifying playoff final taking place in Morocco. The Chippa United goalkeeper sustained an injury during the closing moments of the Super Eagles' victory over Gabon but refused a substitution despite Maduka Okoye preparing to enter the match.
Nwabali completed only limited training activities while his teammates, Okoye and Amas Obasogie, participated fully in preparation sessions. The medical staff will provide a comprehensive assessment regarding the South Africa-based shot-stopper's fitness ahead of the decisive continental matchup.
