Stanley Nwabali Mourns Father’s Death After AFCON Match
Stanley Nwabali, the talented goalkeeper for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, has suffered a tragic loss with the passing of his father.
He shared the heartbreaking news on his Instagram story early Friday morning.
In his post, Nwabali expressed his grief with a tearful emoji and a short but emotional message that read, “Rest in peace, dad.”
Although the Chippa United player didn’t provide details about the cause of his father’s death
The tragic news comes shortly after Nwabali’s impressive performance in Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Benin Republic during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The match, which took place on Thursday night in Abidjan, saw Nwabali showcasing his skills as he led his team with determination.
However, this personal tragedy might affect his participation in Nigeria’s next AFCON qualifier against Rwanda, scheduled to hold in Uyo.
The Super Eagles’ technical crew is yet to announce any decision regarding Nwabali’s availability for the upcoming match.
However, it is likely he will take time off to mourn and be with his family during this difficult period.
The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is also expected to release a statement expressing their support for him.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
