Augustine Eguavoen is sweating over the fitness of defender Kenneth Omeruo ahead of the 2022 World Cup qualifier play-off between Ghana and Nigeria later this month.
The CD Leganes star has been struggling to overcome an adductor issue as it is getting closer for the Nigerian squad to be summoned five days before the two matches against the Black Stars.
The centerback has not been listed in the matchday squad for his side in their last Laliga 2 matches Girona, CD Mirandés and UD Ibiza due to the ailment.
Omeruo was a key partner of William Troost-Ekong for Nigeria throughout the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Headcoach is looking forward to him to recover in time and in good condition for the task ahead.
Ghana will host Nigeria for the first leg of the qualifier at Kumasi Baba Yara Stadium on March 25 before the return in three days later in Nigeria.
