The Super Eagles received a major boost as CAF confirmed on Saturday that Wilfred Ndidi is eligible to feature in Sunday’s playoff clash against DR Congo.
In an official statement, the team clarified: “CAF has confirmed that Wilfred Ndidi is eligible to feature for the Super Eagles in Sunday’s playoff clash against DR Congo.”
Super Eagles revealed that “cautions accumulated during the World Cup qualifiers do not carry over into the playoffs; only confirmed suspensions apply.”
This ruling ensures Ndidi can take part without restrictions, providing a vital boost to Nigeria’s midfield ahead of the decisive fixture.
