Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali is available for call up to the national team in the quarter-final match with Angola, Allnigeriasoccer reports.
There were fears that the Chippa United shot stopper would miss the Palancas Negras clash at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan after he was stretchered off the pitch in the second half of Nigeria’s 2-0 win over the Indomitable Lions.
According to Allnigeriasoccer, the ligament injury suffered by Nwabali was not that bad as the national team medics have given him the green light to appear in his fifth consecutive match at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Nwabali joined his teammates in training at the Ecole Nationale de la Police on Tuesday, January 30, and the signs were there that he had not suffered a significant injury.
