STEPEN EZE RULED OUT OF BENIN REPUBLIC CLASH
By Tolu Olasoji in Cape Coast, Correspondent



Salisu Yusuf will be without the towering defender against the Squirrels in Thursday's crucial last four encounter



Stephen Eze will miss Nigeria’s semifinal encounter against Benin in the Wafu Cup of Nations due to illness.

The FC IfeanyiUbah defender sat out the Super Eagles training which took place at the Sekondi Sports Stadium, Takoradi ahead of the crucial clash against the Squirrels.

Goal understands he took ill and will not be available to don the green and white jerseys as Salisu Yusuf’s men battle for a spot in the final of the competition at the Cape Coast Stadium on Thursday.



This comes as a huge blow for the Nigerian team after the defender's delivered a masterclass performance in their 2-0 win over Ghana on Monday.

It is not an earth shattering loss because we have good cover in that position with Ariwa. As a defender I rate Ariwa higher but Stephen's height always seems like it would come in handy.

I think Olayinka, Bonaventure, Awoniyi, and Onyekuru have all been impressive in Belgium. With time yes, Awoniyi could make the grade at Liverpool

lol.. in fact I need to revisit my list for Algeria. lol. Welcome back Bonaventure. The only reason why he's not been scoring before now --injury.

He is trying to take away the shine from Onyekuru. Right now, the question is, who to really watch? Let the competition kwantinue

NO B BAD BELLE O O O!

He is the strongest and reliable CB we've got for now and we can't afford to loose him to injury. He can even be in the pre-starting line-up but make we qualify first.

I couldn't believe what I saw with his performance in our last two matches. He seem too be the defensive version of John Obi Mikel. He put in that great performance after just returning from injury-I doubt if he even had any game time in his club prior to those encounters.
Balogun will make an excellent defensive midfielder, aside his ball playing ability dude plays accurate balls too. cheesy let's see off Zambia first

Nigeria 3 – 0 Zambia: Super Eagles Dominate Chipolopolo In Five Recent Encounters

Nigeria 3 – 0 Zambia: Super Eagles Dominate Chipolopolo In Five Recent Encounters

The Super Eagles of Nigeria host the Chipolopolo of Zambia on matchday-five of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in Uyo on October 7 2017.

A win for the Super Eagles, currently on 10 points, will seal Nigeria’s qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup with a game in hand. Any other result will give the Chipolopolo lifeline to take the contest down to the wire. The Zambian team has seven points going into the matchday-5 in Uyo.

With less than three weeks to the big game, Completesportsnigeria.com’s JAMES AGBEREBI recalls the most recent five clashes between the two nations. Nigeria won three of the five recent matches, while two ended in draw..

ZAMBIA 1-2 NIGERIA (2018 W/CUP Qualifier, Group B, 1st Leg)

The game was on matchday-one of the ongoing 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers between the Chipolopolo of Zambia and the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Ndola on October 9, 2016.

Prior to the game, the Super Eagles had never recorded an away win over Zambia in their past meetings.


But all that changed as the Super Eagles triumphed 2-1 with the duo of Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho scoring for Nigeria.

Zambia pulled a goal back througn Collins Mbesuma with 20 minutes left, but Eagles held on to claim the three points.

NIGERIA 1-1 ZAMBIA (2013 AFCON, Group Stage)

The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa saw the Super Eagles drawn in the same group with then African champions Zambia who won the tournament in 2012.

After 90 minutes, both teams shared the points as the game ended 1-1.

Emmanuel Emenike put the Super Eagles 1-0 up before goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene equalised from the penalty spot.

The Super Eagles qualified from the group with Burkina Faso while Zambia crashed out. The Eagles went on to become champions after beating Burkina Faso 1-0 in the final.

NIGERIA 2-0 ZAMBIA (2011: International Friendly)

After failing to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, the Super Eagles faced Zambia in an intertional friendly in 2011 in Kaduna.

Zambia used the friendly game as preparation for the 2012 AFCON which they eventually won.

The Uche brothers, Ikechukwu and Kalu were the scorers for the Eagles.

NIGERIA 5-4 ZAMBIA pens. (0-0 in regulation time – 2010 AFCON Quarter-finals)

The Super Eagles clashed with Zambia in the quarter-finals of the 2010 AFCON in Angola.

After a pulsating encounter which saw regulation and extra-time end 0-0, the two teams proceeded to penalty shootout.

The Eagles won 5-4 after Thomas Nyirenda missed Zambia’s fourth kick before Vincent Enyeama converted the decisive kick to send the Eagles into the last four.

ZAMBIA 1-1 NIGERIA (2002 AFCON Qualifier, Group Stage, 2nd Leg)

During the qualifiers for the 2002 AFCON in Mali, the Nigeria and Zambia were drawn in the same group, with Madagascar and Namibia.

The first leg in Lagos ended 1-0 in favour of the Super Eagles thanks to a Victor Agali goal.

In the return leg on matchday-four in Chingola, the Eagles were forced to a 1-1 draw by the Chipolopolo.

Benedict Akwuegbu gave the Eagles the lead on 30 minutes before an own goal by Isaac Okoronkwo on 42 minutes drew Zambia level.

Haven't checked but remember him when he first came to Chelsea same team as Tega and co. And think he came from Belgium.

He was so small didnt think he would make it although he was exceptionally technical a wizard with the ball. His Dad was an exinternational for Zambia.

Put them in the same pool as Chidozie Awaziem, Kenneth Omeruo and Uche Agbo. And let the bests be selected for invitation. No sentiments.
Sentiments?look i w never be sentimental w it comes to players invitation to eagles,have pass that level.

Oboboana made it straight from local league,d same thing Sunday Mba,Finidi was playing in local league benching Tijani before moving to Ajax.Amuneke in Zamalek then benching Ikpeba or are u saying no such player again in local league or if I see one with good promise i should continue raving for player like Agbo.

I did not know Eze or Adeleye until this wafu and from what i see so far they can go places if given d chance and necessary support,so expressing my opinions is sentiment coz they are local lads.

Very proud of this guy, this is a incredible feat, considering how much quality defenders play in the ligue 1. He would continue to prove those who came for his head against SA wrong. Those who said he is not ready, Porto b player and all that, it is before your own eyes that just not up to 3months after the South Africa game he is in the team of the week in LIGUE 1, Stats don't lie... it's not all about game time omeruo with all his experience is not has good has he is presently.

Just also like Keshi, Yekini, Amokachi, Kanu, Oruma, Okocha, Mikel, name them started from the local league.
What we are looking at now is the current standard of the league compared to the the quality of the Super Eagles.

Any player that must be introduced into the team must be better than the player he is displacing from the list. Simple.

You cannot tell me you will pick Adeleye and Eze as back up CBs over Awaziem and Omeruo. If you so chose Adeleye and Eze over Awaziem and Omeruo, well....your choice. undecided
