BBC report says Nigeria's Godfrey Oboabona will miss Saturday's World Cup game against Bosnia-Hercegovina because of injury.
The Rizespor defender, 23, hurt his ankle and was taken off on a stretcher in the first half of Nigeria's opening 0-0 draw against Group F rivals Iran.
"According to a scan result, he won't be fit to face Bosnia," team spokesman Ben Alaiya told BBC Sport.
"Luckily, there's no fracture, so we expect him to be ready for the last game against Argentina."
African champions Nigeria were fancied to go through to the next round along with Argentina.
But the pressure is now on them to beat the group's only European team Bosnia-Hercegoivina, who impressed on their World Cup debut on Sunday in their 2-1 defeat by Lionel Messi's side.
Nigeria's draw with Iran means the Super Eagles have not won any of their past nine World Cup matches.
*Ok .lol
This is Sad. Hope Yobo will fill in the Gap and let Eagles do us proud for once come Saturday.

DeleteJust shut ur dirty mouth. Some Nigerians are soo disgusting. The defending champions didn't win a match and they are not crucified. If only it were Nigerians, it will turn to world insult day. Out of 200 countries, they are among d 32 dat qualified, why not give them credit for that? Daft comments like dis make me weep for the nigerian youth. Thats why this country will never move foward. Afterall its gonna be just one country to win d world cup, when God says its our time, aint no country stopping us. So pls keep yr stupid comment to your self. FOOL...
