Nottingham Forest right-back Ola Aina could miss Nigeria Super Eagles matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda next month after sustaining an injury at the weekend.
The Super Eagles could be without Ola Aina just three weeks before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers begin, after he sustained an injury in Nottingham Forest’s opening Premier League game of the season against Bournemouth.
Aina was forced to leave the game early in the second half due to a calf injury. The left back was replaced by Harry Toffolo in the 54th minute after complaining of discomfort and being caught limping off the field.
Nigeria will host Benin Republic on September 7 at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium for the matchday of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Three days later, they will make a trip to Kigali to face Rwanda and this could be without Aina who was already missing in June for the matchday 3 and 4 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
