Nwabali gets nod to face Angola in AFCON quarter-final

Stanley Nwabali has been given a nod to feature for Nigeria’s Super Eagles against Angola’s Black Antelopes in Friday’s quarter-final cracker, SportsDayOnline.com reports.

The shot-stopper was a major doubt for the match no thanks to a mild ligament injury cropped in Nigeria’s victory against Cameroon in Round of 16 clash.

The 27-year-old Nwabali has now recovered from the injury setback and was back in full training with teammates at the Police College, Cocody, Abidjan on Wednesday night.

The three-time African champions will tackle Angola’s Black Antelopes in Friday’s quarter-final cracker at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan.
