The seven-time champions were outplayed by the Senegalese and managed just one shot on target.

Talented midfielder Daniel Daga is expected to miss the game due to injury.

The Dakkada FC player was stretchered off in the first half against Senegal and there are fears he may not feature again in the competition.

Another defeat could end the Flying Eagles chances of progressing into the knockout round and also a berth at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
