Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has expressed disappointment with Wilfred Ndidi’s suspension for his side’s semi-final fixture against Morocco
Ndidi picked his second yellow card in the knockout round of
the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Nigeria’s 2-0 quarter-final victory
over the Desert Foxes of Algeria.
The 29-year-old was earlier booked in the Round of 16
contest against Mozambique.
Chelle acknowledged Ndidi’s influence on the team.
“I am disappointed that our captain will not participate in
tomorrow’s match, as his influence on the team is substantial,” the former Mali
tactician told reporters in Rabat on Tuesday.
Club Brugge star Raphael Onyedika is expected to take
Ndidi’s place in the starting line-up against the hosts.
Onyedika bagged a brace in his first appearance in the
competition against Uganda.
