Nottingham, England
Omo, e be like say wahala don catch our padi, Ola Aina! The Nottingham Forest defender don lose three months for injury after e limped off during Nigeria‘s World Cup qualifier against South Africa. The match end draw at 1-1 on Tuesday, but Aina’s body no gree cooperate.
Na in the 10th minute the guy gatz waka go sideline, and we sabi say injury no too dey sweet anybody for that side. Now, scan don confirm say his hamstring don carry carry, and e no fit play until early December at least. E go dey miss serious matches for both club and country (e be like say na bad luck be this).
Aina dey perform well this season, na im make e be vital piece for Super Eagles. No be small thing! Na as he dey show skill for every match wey dem play for Premier League this season. But now, dem go need find better replacements sharp sharp, as the national team dey prepare for two crucial qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin Republic in October.
Super Eagles gaffer, Eric Chelle, dey seriously think how he go fill the gap wey Aina leave. No be easy matter oh! Bright Osayi-Samuel and Zaidu Sanusi fit take up the mantle, but all eyes go dey on dem as dem need to show their mettle. Na every point count now as we dey chase ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
The coaching staff no wan lose hope, dem still dey believe say qualification go happen, although dem sabi say the journey no go soft without Aina. Na now dem go need urgent prayers and plenty good luck to navigate through the remaining matches.
As we dey yan, hope say our boys fit stand strong, because e no good make we dey watch World Cup from outside! If football na business, injuries no dey pay the bills.
