The versatile Nottingham Forest player, known for his defensive stability and attacking contributions, has been a key figure in the Super Eagles' qualification campaign. His absence will be a blow to Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen’s plans, as the team looks to end the qualifiers on a strong note at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
Aina’s withdrawal adds to the challenges for the Super Eagles, who are already without first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, excused from the squad due to a personal bereavement. With two key players unavailable, the team will rely on its depth and adaptability to secure a positive result.
Fans of the Super Eagles will undoubtedly miss Aina’s presence on the pitch but will be hoping for his swift recovery and return to full fitness ahead of future national team commitments.
Despite the setbacks, Nigeria has already secured its place in the Morocco 2025 tournament. Monday’s clash against Rwanda offers an opportunity for other players to step up and make an impression as the team builds momentum for the continental showpiece.
