Wilfred Ndidi will be available for selection when Nigeria face DR Congo in Sunday’s World Cup playoff clash, despite receiving a yellow card in the Super Eagles’ Thursday victory over Gabon.
This was confirmed in a statement on the official X handle of the Super Eagles.
The statement reads: “CAF has confirmed that Wilfred Ndidi is eligible to feature for the Super Eagles in Sunday’s playoff clash against DR Congo.
“Cautions accumulated during the World Cupqualifiers do not carry over into the playoffs; only confirmed suspensions apply.”
Ndidi’s availability provides a boost for Nigeria as they push for a World Cup ticket in the decisive playoff final against DR Congo.
