Ogbu to Undergo Scan in Lisbon as Nigeria Prepare for Portugal

Nigeria defender Igho Ogbu will undergo a scan in Lisbon on Monday after sustaining an injury, with the Super Eagles confirming he remains in camp despite reports suggesting he had returned to Prague.

The centre-back’s condition is being closely monitored by medical staff as Nigeria prepare for their international friendly against Portugal. Ogbu’s presence in Lisbon underlines the team’s commitment to keeping him involved while awaiting clarity on the severity of the issue.

Sunday evening’s training session concluded with 22 players taking part, as head coach Eric Chelle continued to fine-tune preparations ahead of the clash.

The Super Eagles are looking to build momentum before the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers later this year, with the Portugal fixture serving as a key test.
