Flying Eagles striker Chidera Ezeh will watch from the sidelines as his teammates attempt to overrun their Ghanaian counterparts in Wednesday’s friendly rematch.
The FC Porto youngster was among the goals in the four-goal thriller between the West African neighbors last term but had to be replaced soon after when he was involved in a head clash and suffered a mild concussion.
“Chidera Ezeh is okay now but he will not be involved in the second game against Ghana after he suffered a mild concussion as a precautionary measure,” said Flying Eagles team doctor Ozi Salami.
The absence of Ezeh nonetheless, the Flying Eagles will be hoping to get past the Black Satellites as they battle in Tema, on the outskirts of Accra, by 3pm local time, which is 4pm Nigerian time.
Apart from Ezeh, defender Zaharadeen Bello will also be rested to ensure he does not further hurt his leg injury.
The Nigeria U20s as well as their Ghanaian counterparts are both preparing for next month’s African Youth Championship in Senegal where they will be seeking for one of the four World Cup tickets on offer.
