Torino of Italy wing back Ola Aina is out of Sunday’s international friendly between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Brazil in Singapore, the Nigerian Football Federation tweeted on Wednesday.
According to the NFF, Aina picked up an injury after a domestic accident and will not be available.
Aina is among the five defenders called by Coach Gernot Rohr for the clash. Others are Omeruo, Balogun, Ekong, Awaziem, Ajayi and Collins.
The match will be played on 13 October at the Singapore National Stadium, Kallang from 8pm Singapore time.
