The Chippa United keeper has been a star at this AFCON tournament, controlling the backline and conceding just once in four games.

The Super Eagles will face the Black Antelopes at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Friday February 2, and Peseiro hopes for Nwabali to be available

“We will assess the state of Nwabali’s injury in the next 24 to 48 hours. It’s difficult to assess his condition, at the moment.” Peseiro said in a conference.

“But I am hoping that he will be fit for the next match. I want him to play. And the players want him to play.

“We have 25 players here, there are other players who can do the job. If he can’t play we have a good replacement.”
