Stanley Nwabali May Miss Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup Qualifiers Due to Injury
Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali faces doubt over his availability for Nigeria’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa due to injury.
The 29-year-old was stretchered off in the 35th minute during Chippa United’s South African Premier Soccer League match against Richards Bay on Tuesday night.
Nwabali now has a race against time to recover in time for Nigeria’s crucial games against the Amavubi and Bafana Bafana. He was recently named in the Super Eagles’ 31-man provisional squad for the qualifiers.
Other goalkeepers in the squad include Adebayo Adeleye, Amas Obasogie, and Ebenezer Harcourt. Nigeria is set to face Rwanda on September 6 and South Africa on September 10.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
