The Super Eagles will be without Kevin Akpoguma when they face the Djurtus of Guinea Bissau on Monday.

The German-based defender started the first leg match at the MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja before being substituted by Semi Ajayi early in the second half due to a facial injury.

Akpoguma did not attend the team’s final practice on Saturday and will most likely be sidelined for the vital encounter.
