Super Eagles of Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is allegedly expected to be available for the team’s international friendly matches later this month.
Last weekend, it was accounted for that Stanley Nwabali sustained a physical injury during the Premier Soccer League (PSL) game between his South African club, Chippa Joined United, and the league’s giants, Mamelodi Sundowns, on Saturday, March 9.
The injury forced the coaching crew to substitute him in the 73rd minute, as the game finished 2-0 for Mamelodi Sundowns.
Reports claimed that Chippa United was supposed to find out the seriousness of the injury within the next few days.
While the public, particularly fans of the Super Eagles, were expecting an update from the club, reports went viral earlier today, March 11, that the injury Stanley Nwabali sustained last weekend wasn’t as severe as expected.
As indicated by a report by the Daily Post, Nwabali has been cleared for the international friendly games against Ghana on March 22 and against Mali on March 26 at the Stade de Marrakech.
In the meantime, Stanley Nwabali will keep posting on his verified Instagram page on Sunday, March 10, 2024.
In the post, the 27-year-old Nigerian goalkeeper was seen wearing a shirt with Nigeria boldly embedded in front of it while he placed a traveling bag before him.
“Hope and confidence. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. We don’t surrender here,” he wrote in the caption.
Note that Stanley Nwabali made his name in international football during the 2023 AFCON, in which he kept four clean sheets and assisted Nigeria in completing second in the tournament.
