Onyemaechi’s potential absence would be a major blow for the Super Eagles with Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze and Wilfred Ndidi already ruled out of the game.
The defender picked up an injury in his club Boavista’s 3-1 home defeat to Farense on Sunday.
Jamilu Collins, who plays for Sky Bet Championship club, Cardiff City is the other left-back in the team. READ ALSO:
