Super Eagles manager, Eric Chelle has received a major news as William Troost-Ekong is set to be available for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
Troost-Ekong has been confirmed injured but will be fit in time for Nigeria’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe later this month, officials have assured.
Ekong, who plays for Saudi Arabian club Al Kholood, has missed his team’s last two league games due to an unspecified injury.
However, officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have downplayed concerns over his fitness ahead of the qualifiers.
Nigeria will face Rwanda on March 21 in Kigali before hosting Zimbabwe in Uyo four days later as they look to secure vital points on the road to the 2026 World Cup.
With Ekong’s leadership and defensive experience crucial to the team, fans will hope he regains full fitness in time to lead the Super Eagles in these must-win encounters.
