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.
