Super Eagles defender Felix Agu has been ruled out of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament due to injury. The full-back, who has been an important player for Nigeria, will not recover in time to join the team for the continental championship.
Agu picked up a long-term injury earlier in the season and medical reports confirmed that he needs more time to fully heal. This news is a big blow to the Super Eagles as they look forward to building a strong squad for the tournament. His energy, pace and defensive strength will surely be missed on the pitch.
Team officials are already looking at other options to fill the gap left by Agu. Fans are hopeful that other defenders will step up and perform well when the tournament begins.
Despite the disappointment, supporters have wished Agu a quick recovery and hope to see him back in the national team soon after he regains full fitness.
