Nigeria's Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign has been thrown into chaos by Chad's decision to pull out.
Chad has withdrawn from qualifying for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, dealing a huge blow to Nigeria's chances of reaching the tournament.
Reports suggest financial constraints have prompted the decision, with Chad sitting bottom of Group G after three defeats from as many matches.
In accordance with qualifying rules, all points gained from matches involving Chad will now be discarded, leaving Nigeria two points adrift of Egypt with only two matches - including a must-not-lose trip to Alexandria on Tuesday - to turn things around.
