FC
Lugano
goalkeeper Sebastian Osigwe risks
missing out on his debut for the Super
Eagles in next month's 2021 Africa Cup
of Nations qualifying matches against
Sierra Leone, allnigeriasoccer.com
reports.
Swiss Super League side Lugano have
reported via their official website that
the tests carried out following the
positivity of Mattia Bottani also revealed
Osigwe has contracted coronavirus.
The former Flying Eagles shot-stopper
is required to self-isolate for at least ten
days based on the COVID-19 guidelines
in Switzerland.
The Nigeria Football Federation
confirmed on Thursday that all players
called up for the AFCON qualifiers
against Sierra Leone must report at the
Protea Hotel Emotan in Benin City on
Monday, 9th November, meaning
Osigwe faces a race against the clock
to receive the medical all-clear to travel
to Nigeria.
Goalkeepers Francis Uzoho and
Ikechukwu Ezenwa have both been
placed on standby and could be invited
at short notice in the event that Osigwe
returns another positive coronavirus
test in the coming days.
In the current season, the Swiss-born
netminder has gone the distance in five
of the six matches contested by Lugano
in the Super League.
Lugano have written to the Swiss
Football League to postpone Sunday's
meeting with Young Boys since the
team does not have a total of eight
players available for selection |
