The Nigeria national football team has received a major boost ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal match against Angola with the return of goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali. Nwabali had been sidelined after sustaining a hamstring strain during a clash with Cameroon in the round of 16. However, he has made a successful comeback and completed a full training session with the squad. Despite his return, coach Jose Peseiro remains cautious and will make a final decision after a late fitness test.
Peseiro expressed his confidence in Nwabali's deputy, Francis Uzoho, should the goalkeeper not be fit to start. The return of Nwabali is seen as a significant positive for the Super Eagles, who have relied on solid defensive work and quick transitions into attack throughout the tournament.
