As the Super Eagles are still in disarray over their match bonus, another tragedy has again befell the African Champions as the team will prosecute matches of the Confederations Cup without SS Lazio’s midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi.
The combative midfielder was ruled out of the tourney due to a knee injury he picked up during the 1-1 World Cup qualifier with Namibia on Wednesday.
“I thought it was something I could manage when it happened, but there was no point pushing myself to the extreme,” 20-year-old Onazi stated.
“Unfortunately, it means I will miss our Confederations Cup in Brazil.”
