The Flying Eagles preparation for their final group stage tie against Ukraine received a serious setback with Jamil Muhammad being ruled out of the 2019 Fifa U20 World Cup in Poland.
Muhammad sustained an injury when Nigeria lost to the United States in their second group game.
He was unable to train on Tuesday and Wednesday before the team doctor confirmed that the midfielder won’t be able to take further part in the Flying Eagles campaign.
“Midfielder Jamil Muhammad is out for the rest of the tournament after sustaining an injury in the game against the United States,” the official media office of the team disclosed.
