These are the three players who are suspended for the Ghana vs Nigeria clash
Ghana and Nigeria square off at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Friday in the first-leg of the final round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
Both countries have some key players suspended for this crucial clash and the reverse fixture in Abuja on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.
Nigeria coach Augustine Eguavoen will not be able to select Everton forward Alex Iwobi for this fixture. The 25-year-old whose maternal uncle is Nigeria great Jay-Jay Okocha was sent off in the 66th minute during the 1-0 loss to Tunisia at the 2021 AFCON.
