Super Eagles interim manager, Austin Eguavoen, has revealed that Villareal winger has suffered a knock and couldnt train with the rest of the team in Abuja.
Eguavoen said Chukwueze did not take part in Saturday’s recovering training section, adding that he rested the Villarreal star.
However, he hinted on the preparation of his side adding that they are doing everything possible to grab Qatar 2022 Worldcup ticket in Abuja
Nigeria had played a 0-0 draw against the Black Stars at the Baba Yara Stadium on Friday night.
“They worked hard in such an atmosphere, so I think it was a fair result.
“Some players did not get involved now because one or two had a knock yesterday and recovered training, people that played 90 and 94 minutes usually do just a little bit and then rest.
“People who didn’t play up to 70 minutes will do more, that is exactly what we just did, like few of them that had knocks like Chukwueze, we just want to rest him and he can probably resume tomorrow.”
The reverse fixture between Nigeria and Ghana will be played in Nigeria on the 29th of March at the Moshood Abiola stadium Abuja.
