Nigeria’s head coach, Eric Chelle, faces a major setback, as captain Wilfred Ndidi is suspended for this match after collecting his second yellow card of the knockout phase in the last game against Algeria. His fitness had also been in doubt after he picked up an injury in that game.

Victor Osimhen is tipped to take over the captain’s armband for the semifinal.
