The Super Eagles are in danger of losing four key players, including Ballon d’Or contender Ademola Lookman for their AFCON qualifiers second leg encounter against Libya.
Joining Lookman on this list is winger Samuel Chukwueze, and defenders Ola Aina, and Calvin Bassey, with all players in danger of suspension.
Lookman. Aina, Chukwueze, Bassey: one card away from suspension for Libya second leg

According to CAF regulations, any player who receives two yellow cards in separate games during the CAF Champions League or AFCON tournament faces a one-match suspension, with the rule also applicable to their qualification matches.

Nigeria will play Libya for their AFCON qualifiers over a two-legged tie a few days, and if any of the four players listed above get a yellow card in the first game in Nigeria, they will miss the second game in Libya.
Last month, Lookman and Bassey got yellow cards when Nigeria beat Benin 3-0, while Aina and Chukwueze also received cautions when they played 0-0 against Rwanda.


Despite Augustine Eguavoen having a robust squad of twenty-three players to pick from, these four are crucial to Nigeria’s quest for three points.
As they get ready for the pivotal second leg of their quest to earn a ticket in the 2025 AFCON competition, the Super Eagles will hope to stay out of trouble with the law.
