Boavista defender Bruno Onyemaechi is a major doubt for Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

Onyemaechi sustained an injury in Boavista’s 3-1 defeat to Farense on Sunday.

The left-back was replaced by Filipe Ferreira in the 56th minute.

The 24-year-old has featured regularly for the Super Eagles in recent outings.
