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.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
