Troost-Ekong doubtful for Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda, Zimbabwe

Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong is a major injury concern ahead of Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

The Al Kholood defender has missed his club’s last two league matches due to a muscle injury, and no official update has been provided on his recovery.

Head coach Eric Chelle will be hoping for a swift return, especially with key players Semi Ajayi, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and Raphael Onyedika also doubtful due to injuries.

Nigeria will face Rwanda in Kigali on March 21 before hosting Zimbabwe four days later.
