Nigeria to Face USA in Final World Cup Warm-Up Amid Injury Concerns
Nigeria is set to take on the United States this Saturday night in Jacksonville, rounding off their World Cup warm-up matches after two draws — a thrilling 2-2 against Scotland and a goalless stalemate with Greece.
However, Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi faces potential squad setbacks ahead of the match, with key players Elderson Echiejile and Ahmed Musa both nursing injuries sustained during the game against Greece.
Monaco defender Echiejile is dealing with a hamstring issue, while the exact nature of winger Musa’s injury, who plays for CSKA Moscow, remains undisclosed.
The match will be a crucial final test for Nigeria as they prepare for the tournament proper, with Keshi hoping his squad can stay fit and focused ahead of their World Cup campaign.
