Nigeria could be without Ademola Lookman for Tuesday’s matchday four encounter after the forward sustained a knee injury during Friday’s 3-1 win against Tanzania.

The Atalanta attacker was forced off late in the first half and replaced by Moses Simon after picking up a knock while attempting to score with his left foot.

Providing an update on the winger’s condition, Nigeria's Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle confirmed that Lookman had sustained an injury but did not rule him out of the return fixture.

“Ademola has a little problem. He took a knock on his knee when he tried to score a goal with his left foot,” the coach disclosed.

Lookman’s availability for the trip to Tanzania will depend on further medical assessment.

The Super Eagles coach also singled out Arokodare for special praise after the striker made a decisive impact following his introduction from the bench.

The forward scored twice in the second half to help Nigeria secure victory, with Chelle highlighting his quality, confidence and determination.

“Tolu showed exactly why we brought him into this team. Coming off the bench and scoring twice takes quality, confidence and determination.

“He gave us a different attacking threat and made a huge impact when the team needed him,” Chelle added.

Nigeria will now travel to Tanzania for Tuesday’s encounter, with Chelle targeting another victory to strengthen the Super Eagles’ position in the qualification campaign.
