Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro received a big boost ahead of his side’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Zimbabwe with defender Semi Ajayi set to be available for both games.
Ajayi has missed Sky Bet Championship club West Bromwich Albion’s last two games due to injury.
Albion manager Carlos Corberan delivered a positive news regarding the fitness of Ajayi on Friday.
Carlos said: “Jeremy Sarmiento and Semi Ajayi are two players who, if they complete the training session on Friday, can be part of the matchday squad on Saturday.
“They both trained on Thursday with the group and they came through that fine.
“It’s always really positive to add players back to your squad when you have been missing plenty of them in recent weeks.
“With Semi, we have one more option at centre-back and he was playing in the first XI at the start of the season.
Peseiro’s side will host the Crocodiles of Lesotho at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Thursday, November 17. READ ALSO:
