Super Eagles and Rizespor of Turkey defender Godfrey Oboabona has been ruled out of the team’s second Group F game against Bosnia on Saturday.
This sad piece of news was disclosed by the team’s media officer, Ben Alaiya on Tuesday.
“Godfrey Oboabona is not okay, AlRaiya told SL10.ng. “He’s not going to play the next game against Bosnia. During the match with Iran, an Iranian player tackled him badly, used his studs to make contacts with him.
“He has begun rehabilitation but did not train this evening.”
Eagles captain Joseph Yobo is expected to pair Kenneth Omeruo in the game which both teams will be desperate to win in a bid to qualify from Group F.

I wish Godfrey speed recovery. Go Super eagles go
Wishing Godfrey speed recovery.
That means we are doomed. Yobo is old and can’t contend with the likes of Edin Dzeko. Azubuike should be drafted in. Although he lacks experience, but he should be able to deal with the height advantage Edin posseses
It is a blessing in disguise, whoever would be drafted in his place would rise to the occasion but i wish him a speedy recovery. Above all we are more than conqueror, let us make it count for our nation.
I prefer Azubuike Egwueke (in the absence of the injured Godfrey) because this is a must win match as we dont want another excuse of “Eagles being learners” as in the case of the friendly match agsinst USA because it is a must win match which requires young and vibrant mind to execute.Yobo should start from the bench (if need be) or be left out totally.I hope the coach knows better.
The top striker Emenike was a short one in the last Super Eagles match against Iran. He was too slow. There was no element of a serious strike in him.
Peter Odewinge a substitute during the match, did very well. I love his tactics.
Hi friends. I wish you more luck then on the last gamen. See you. Buy!
