CAN 2025 - Nigeria: Super Eagles lose Wilfred Ndidi ahead of Morocco clash

Major blow for Nigeria just three days before the CAN 2025 semi-finals. Nigeria lose Wilfred Ndidi to suspension.

For the highly anticipated CAN 2025 semi-final showdown between Morocco and Nigeria, the Super Eagles will have to do without their captain, Wilfred Ndidi. The midfielder picked up his second yellow card of the tournament during Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Algeria yesterday. As a result, he is suspended for one match.

The midfielder had already been booked during the group stage win over Mozambique, leaving him just one yellow card away from suspension. Ndidi will therefore miss the semi-final against Morocco.

The Nigerian captain should be available for either the final or the third-place playoff, depending on the Super Eagles’ result in the semi-final against Morocco.
