It appears that Nigerian defender Efe Ambrose will miss the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Kenya due to accumulated yellow cards. The Nigerian Football Federation, in a press release, has confirmed that Ambrose received cautions during the match against Kenya last June and also against Malawi in Blantyre in the same competition.
As a result of these consecutive yellow cards, Ambrose is suspended and will be absent from the squad for the upcoming match against Kenya. It’s unfortunate for the player and the team to lose a key player due to disciplinary reasons, and his absence will likely be felt in the defense.
Disciplinary issues can sometimes be a challenge for players and teams, and it highlights the importance of player discipline and fair play in international competitions. The coaching staff will need to make adjustments to the lineup in Ambrose’s absence, and fans will be watching to see how the team performs without him in the upcoming match.
