Nigeria will confront South Africa by 6 pm at the Stade de la Paix in Bouake on Wednesday, February 7
Pooja, who is covering the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @PoojaMedia, on Wednesday.
“Zaidu Sanusi could miss the South Africa clash as he didn’t train with the rest of the team yesterday”
Nigerians react
@afrisagacity
"This is good news for the team. Zaidu needs a solitary moment to communicate with his inner spirit and find out why his legs are restricted to only running.
"Crossing or long-passing the ball is such a hard fight for him. And when he eventually gets it right, the ball finds its way to an opponent’s feet.
"Sitting out today’s match will do both Zaidu and the Super Eagles team much good."
@obajemujnr
"Get well soon Zaidu, Join in us finals"
@Silvangif
That's where the green lantern, Kenneth Omeruo comes in.
@bummiearo
"We wish him quick recovery to play in the final"
@Yusuph____
"He’s the best player. I hope we win this match without him".
