Nigeria Reaches Semi-Finals - Uzhoho's Return Delayed

Nigeria has reached the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, defeating Algeria 2-0. Victor Osimhen scored the first goal, while Adams added the second with an impressive individual effort. This qualification means that the return of Francis Uzoho, Omonia's goalkeeper, to the team will be delayed. Even if Nigeria does not reach the final, Uzoho's return is expected after the third-place play-off, making him available for Omonia's match against Anorthosis on January 25th.
