The complexion that the spate of injuries places on Nigeria's upcoming tie against Seychelles is hard to presage.

It will often require a moment of fortune or two for a player who was previously on the fringe of the side to insert himself into the reckoning and to usurp an established starter, but when so many are missing, there is such a danger that it becomes a handicap in and of itself: a team may well be boosted by one player seeking to make a point; but four or five leaves it with a few too many soloists.
