Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 70479, member: 636"] Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has expressed satisfaction after the Confederation of African Football cleared midfielder Wilfred Ndidi to participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup African playoffs final against the Democratic Republic of Congo in Rabat. The Besiktas defender acknowledged the relief felt throughout the squad regarding the decision, noting that losing any player to suspension carries significant weight. The 29-year-old Leicester City midfielder had faced a potential absence from the clash with the Leopards after picking up his second caution during the qualifying series against Gabon. Ndidi delivered a strong performance in that victory, setting up Victor Osimhen for the third goal in the triumph. [/QUOTE]
