Injury Crisis Grows In Super Eagles Camp ahead of friendly against Tunisia and Algeria

Highly-rated midfielder Frank Onyeka, who is expected to stand in for injured Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo in Super Eagles defensive midfield against African champions Algeria Friday.

Onyeka, who has yet to be capped by the Eagles, was seen with an ice pack wrapped around his left knee in Austria.

The box-to-box FC Midtjylland midfielder was expected to stake a serious claim for a starting XI place in the forthcoming friendlies against Algeria and Tunisia.

Hoffenheim central defender Kevin Akpoguma could now make his Eagles debut after he was cleared by FIFA to change international allegiance from Germany.
