The Super Eagles are likely to be without Zaidu Sanusi for their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash with South Africa.
Sanusi sat out the team’s last training in Bouake on Tuesday night.
The Porto left-back has been battling with injury during the tournament.
The defender has started four of Nigeria’s five games in Cote d’Ivoire.
Sanusi has come under heavy criticism for his tentative displays for the Super Eagles at the tournament.
Bright Osayi-Samuel and Bruno Onyemaechi are in line to replace him in the starting line-up against Bafana Bafana.
