Eric Chelle’s 23-man Super Eagles squad to prosecute the final round of 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers was released on Friday…
Super Eagles defender Felix Agu could miss Nigeria’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers next week, as he suffered an injury in Werder Bremen’s 1-0 win over St. Pauli on Saturday, Soccernet.ng reports.
On Friday, Agu was one of the 23 players called up to the Super Eagles squad ahead of the World Cup Qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin next week.
The 26-year-old left-back has been a regular for Werder Bremen this season, and he started for them once more in their Bundesliga fixture against St. Pauli at the Weserstadion.
Agu had a really good showing in the first half, but he had to be helped off just before halftime, as he sustained an injury and could not continue.
Although the extent of the injury has not been confirmed, it is highly unlikely that Agu will be available for the Super Eagles by next week.
The former Osnabruck man has a bad injury history, so for him to have to leave a game, it must have been a serious problem.
