Bayer Leverkusen forward Victor Boniface won’t be representing Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations after picking up a groin injury, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

The 23 year old was prime to be Victor Osimhen’s partner in attack after a blistering start to life in Germany with  Bayer Leverkusen, where he has scored 10 goals with seven assists.

He won the rookie of the month in the league three straight times raising hope of him giving the Super Eagles a huge lift at the AFCON, but that won’t be the case per what we exclusively gathered.

Yet to feature for Super Eagles in any of their test games, he also hasn’t taken part in their last two training sessions. A scan was done earlier to do and the length of time he will be out means he will miss the AFCON.

Boniface will return to Germany, where he will begin treatment for the groin injury that is expected to keep him out for six weeks. A decision on his replacement will be made later today.

The senior national team of Nigeria were brought back to earth by the Syli Stars of Guinea who secured a 2-0 win, a day after the Super Eagles thrashed a selected team of school boys 12-0 at their camp in Abu Dhabi.

Nigeria started the game the brightest but were pegged behind in the 14th minute with Aguibou Camara scoring for the Guineans. Six minutes later a chance was provided for Nigeria when Sadiq Umar was fouled in the box.

Moses Simon stepped up but saw his penalty saved by the Guinean shot stopper in the 20th minute. Umar was again the tormentor in chief and his header narrowly missed the mark shorty after the penalty miss.

Samuel Chukwueze had the last chance of the half to draw Nigeria level but his curler from the right sailed slightly wide as the half time whistle soundee with Nigeria trailing 0-1.

Four minutes after the hour mark, Guinea made the Super Eagles pay for their wastefulness with the second goal of the game, further exposing the defence of Nigeria.

The goal forced coach Jose Peseiro into a defence reshuffling with Kenneth Omeruo and Chidozie Awaziem subbed off for the duo of Calvin Bassey and Frank Onyeka.

Alex Iwobi was also subbed on for Raphael Onyedika in a bid to shore up the midfield and possibly rescue something from the game, which has Guinea comfortably in the lead.

That didn’t happen as Super Eagles suffered a huge disappointment losing their last strong test before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations on the 13th, with Nigeria set to be in action against Equatorial Guinea on the 14th.

The senior national team of Nigeria will today take on Guinea in an international friendly game as part of their preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

Yesterday they whipped a group of selected school boys from Dubai 12-0 in an unofficial test game. Today’s game is the main test going into the Africa Cup of Nations.

OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively report that the coach has decided to rest Francis Uzoho with Stanley Nwabali set to make his debut from the start. He also made the same bold decision with Alhassan Yusuf also making his debut as a starter.

The coach lined the team up in a 3-4-3 formation with the trio of Chidozie Awaziem, William Troost-Ekong and Kenneth Omeruo as his back three.

Bright Osayi-Samuel and Zaidu Sanusi will openerate as wingbacks in a four man midfield that also has Raphael Onyedika and Yusuf. Moses Simon, Sadiq Umar and Samuel Chukwueze will lead the chase for goals.

The jersey numbers of players of the senior national team of Nigeria for the Africa Cup of Nations have been made public by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Ahead of their start of the tournament on the 13th of January, CAF posted the shirt number of every team that will be at the tournament and we noticed some minor changes in the squad numbers of Nigeria.

Most notable among them is Alex Iwobi who switched from the number 18 shirt he has been wearing the past few years to his preferred shirt number 17. The number that earned him the nickname BIG 17 while at Arsenal.

It will be the first time in nine years that he is wearing the number for the senior national team of Nigeria despite switching from 8, 10 and 18 in recent years.

Newly invited Antwerp midfielder Alhassan Yusuf who replaced Wilfred Ndidi also takes his shirt number 4 ahead of Brentford’s man Frank Onyedika who settled for number 8.

Other AFCON debutants like Olorunleke Ojo, Stanley Nwabali, Raphael Onyedika, Calvin Bassey, Bruno Onyemaechi,  Ademola Lookman Victor Boniface and Bright Osayi-Samuel will wear shirt number 16, 23, 25, 21, 13, 18, 24 and 12 respectively.

The president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has fired back at coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro over his comments that it was the football house that made him pick 25 players and not the 27 allowed by CAF for the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

In an interview on the official online television of the NFF, Peseiro said it was the football house that made him pick 25 players instead of 27 as permitted by CAF.

“The NFF decided that it will go with 25 and I agreed because it is easy to manage this number,” the Portuguese coach said on Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) TV.

“We first came up with the 41 players then the players who made the final list have been with us and they have shown good performance.

“There are players who showed good performance in their clubs but didn’t do well in the national team. Also, there are players who do well for the national team and didn’t do well in their clubs.

“We looked at current form, if they are playing well and showed good condition.

Reacting to the claims made by the coach Ibrahim Musa Gusau said the decision was taken by the coach, who said he is okay with a squad of 25 players as it is easy for him to manage.

” We were supposed to name a 23 man squad then CAF later said we can increase the number to 25 or 27 but we will cater for the extra players in the team. At that stage it’s not in the power of the NFF to make a decision so we reached out to the coach and he said he is okay with 25 players because it’s easy for him to manage. That was how we arrived at the number of players for the tournament”, he told Totori news in a video interview.

He further went to say injured Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho will be a part of the team but won’t be available for the camping exercise in Abu Dhabi, saying he will join the team in Nigeria before they leave for Cote d’Ivoire.
