Just in: Nathan Tella withdraws from Super Eagles Squad ahead of World Cup Qualifiers
Bayer Leverkusen forward Nathan Tella has been ruled out of Nigeria’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe after sustaining an injury.
Tella was initially included in the final 23-man squad announced on Tuesday, ahead of the crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers later this month.
However, he remained unused as Bayer Leverkusen suffered a 0-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in their Champions League Round of 16 clash on the same day.
Following confirmation of his injury, Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has moved quickly to name Gent defender Jordan Torunarigha as his replacement in the squad.
