Adams To Miss Super Eagles World Cup Qualifiers

Jerome Akor Adams has been ruled out of Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa with injury.

Adams sustained a muscle injury to his left thigh in Sevilla’s home defeat against Getafe last weekend.

Sevilla announced on Wednesday that he will miss Saturday’s LaLiga clash with Girona.

The 25-year-old was named in Nigeria’s provisional squad for the games with Amavubi and Bafana Bafana last week.

It was the forward’s maiden invitation by the three-time African champions.

“Sevilla FC completed their first training session on Wednesday, gearing up for this weekend’s match in Girona,” reads a statement on the club’s official website.

”Neither Rubén Vargas nor Akor Adams were on the field with the group . The Swiss player carried out specific training in the gym , while the Nigerian is suffering from an injury to the long adductor muscle in his left thigh and will miss the match against Girona.”

The 25-year-old was named in Nigeria’s 31-man provisional squad for the games with Amavubi, and Bafana Bafana by head coach Eric Chelle last week.
