Nigeriasoccernet.com understands that Al Ahly new signing Junior Ajayi is racing against the clock to be fit for Nigeria’s quarter-final clash at the Olympics against Denmark on Saturday.
The former Shooting Stars frontman has not made a single appearance for the Dream Team at the Games, and it has come to light that he picked up an injury at the training ground ahead of the game with Colombia.
As a result of the injury sustained by Junior Ajayi, only fourteen outfield players are in tip-top condition at the moment, assuming we turn a blind eye to the condition of Abdullahi Shehu, who could not finish the game against Sweden.
The Dream Team’s top scorer Oghenekaro Etebo damaged his hamstring on Wednesday and might not recover before the clash in Salvador.
Stanley Dimgba and goalkeeper Yusuf are the two players left on the alternate list, with Saviour Godwin and Taiwo Awoniyi returning to their clubs.
