COVID 19 Knocks Newly-invited Nigeria Goalkeeper
Osigwe Out of Sierra Leone Clash
Swiss Super League club Lugano have announced that
newly-invited Nigeria goalkeeper Sebastian Osigwe has
tested positive for coronavirus.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper is a doubt for next month's
AfRICA Cup of Nations qualifiers after his latest medical
update.
Osigwe was handed his maiden Super Eagles call-up on
Thursday, ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier
double-header against Sierra Leone in November, and his
health status was confirmed shortly after.
The Luzern-born goalkeeper and Mattia Bottani contracted
the virus in Maurizio Jacobacci's team while six other
players have been quarantined.
With eight players out of their next Super League fixture
against Young Boys on November 1, Lugano reached out
to the league authorities and their request for
postponement of the encounter to a later date has been
approved.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if Osigwe will be passed
fit and available for the Super Eagles' upcoming matches
against Sierra Leone at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium
on November 13, while the second-leg will take place in
Freetown four days later.
He joins Maduka Okoye and returning Daniel Akpeyi as the
three goalkeepers in Gernot Rohr's latest selection but
Katsina United's Ikechukwu Ezenwa is on the standby list.
Osigwe joined Lugano this summer after leaving Swiss
second-tier club Kriens. He has played in four league
matches so far with three ending in draws and one win
