Star striker Victor Osimhen is expected to captain the Super Eagles in Nigeria’s AFCON 2025 semi-final against hosts Morocco.
Eagles’ substantive skipper Wilfred Ndidi will miss the Morocco tie after picking up a second knockout yellow card in yesterday’s 2-0 quarter final win over Algeria.
Ndidi was booked in the 67th minute for time wasting and he was also cautioned in the 38th minute in the Round of 16 clash against Mozambique.
