Troost-Ekong out of Guinea-Bissau tie
According to an ACLSports report, Nigeria will look to seal another win against Guinea-Bissau without the defender.

Troost-Ekong scored the decisive penalty that helped Jose Peseiro’s men seal a historic 1-0 win against the Elephants last week.
However, ahead of the all-important last group match against a wounded Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria has been forced to a change at centre-back as Ekong will miss the game against the Wild Dogs and is also considered doubtful for the rest of the tournament.
