BREAKING: Okoye out of Nigeria vs Ghana WCQ clash

Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye has been ruled out of the World Cup play-offs with the Black Stars of Ghana over illness.

Okoye who was among players still being expected will now sit out the two-legged affair set for the Baba Yara Sports Stadium this Friday and the Moshood Abiola Stadium next week Tuesday.

The illness which was not disclosed means Okoye joins Leicester City forward, Ademola Lookman on the ‘uncertainty/unavailable list’. Lookman was absent at the weekend when The Foxes beat Brentford in the Premier League.
