Nigeria face a potential selection headache at AFCON 2025 as Calvin Bassey, Wilfred Ndidi and Frank Onyeka sit one yellow card away from suspension
Nigeria’s Super Eagles cruised into the quarterfinals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with a commanding 4–0 victory over Mozambique, but the emphatic win has raised fresh concerns for the head coach as three key players now walk a disciplinary tightrope.

Defender Calvin Bassey and midfield anchors Wilfred Ndidi and Frank Onyeka all received yellow cards during Monday’s Round of 16 clash, leaving them just one booking away from suspension.
Key trio at risk under CAF regulations
Under Confederation of African Football (CAF) disciplinary rules, any player booked in both the Round of 16 and the quarterfinals will automatically serve a one-match suspension.

Algeria goalkeeper Luca Zidane heads into the AFCON 2025 quarterfinal in red-hot form, standing as the biggest obstacle to Nigeria stars Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen.
That means another yellow card in Nigeria’s next outing would rule any of the trio out of a potential semi-final, should the Super Eagles progress.
)
The situation places added pressure on Nigeria’s midfield and defensive setup, with Ndidi and Onyeka central to ball recovery and game control, while Bassey has been a cornerstone of the backline.
