No be small wahala wey dey ground for AFCON 2025 as plenty big players dey miss out this time.
Before the tournament dey kick off for Morocco, make I yarn you about some of the players wey no go fit show face for the competition. E go shock you! For instance, Onana, wey dey play for Trabzonspor, no dey among the players wey go travel. Na wah!
This guy suppose dey in him prime at 29 years, but e don suffer serious loss of form after e move to Old Trafford. Many pipo dey complain say na because of the ‘civil war’ wey dey happen for Cameroonian football, wey make him no dey called up.
Instead, na him cousin go dey represent dem. Singo, wey don shine for AFCON last year, go step in for the Indomitable Lions. No be small pressure on am o! Na so we see wetin dey happen for other countries too.
Another player wey fans go miss na the former Super Eagles captain wey don shock everybody come announce him retirement. This one dey carry big wahala for Super Eagles as dem dey look for who go fill him shoe. Na vex him dey reason say, “E just be like say e don time for me to japa.”
As if that one no enough, Salisu from Black Stars go dey miss out too because dem no qualify for this AFCON. E dey pain everybody as e don dey shine for him club.
For Cameroon side, Anguissa, wey dey shine for Napoli, go miss am through injury. You fit imagine say na injury go stop am from show face for big stage like this? Na serious gbege o!
Even Doucoure from Watford no go join the Eagles too because him dey recover from serious knee injury. Na wetin wey make people dey reason say this AFCON fit dey different for many teams.
Hala Ziyech, wey for Morocco side, don also draw back. E no don play since May, and head coach say no easy to fit bring am back to squad. Many fans dey wonder if this na last time we go see am for international stage.
Semenyo and Kudus from Ghana no go dey fit join as dem dey try to pick dem self up after poor outings.
Na so e be, fans go dey look at dem clubs wey these players dey to see if dem fit do magic in their absence. Everybody dey wait for who go take the cup home this year, but e go dey hard without some of these stars. Na so dem dey play ball these days, na injury and politics dey scatter everything. We hope say players wey dey fit go do justice for the tournament! AFCON 2025, let’s go!
