Nathan Tella has being withdrawn from the Super Eagles squad preparing to face Rwanda and Zimbabwe later this month in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
The Bayer Leverkusen forward was included in the final 23-man roster released on Tuesday ahead of the crucial qualifiers.
However, he remained on the bench as Bayer Leverkusen fell 0-2 to Bayern Munich in their Champions League Round of 16 clash on Tuesday.
It has now been confirmed that the 25-year-old is injured and will miss Nigeria’s upcoming fixtures during the international break.
In response to Tella’s injury, Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has swiftly called up Gent defender Jordan Torunarigha as a replacement.
