BY: BLACKCOIN

Samuel Chukwueze is nursing a slight groin injury ahead of Tuesday’s crucial 2022 World Cup qualifying playoffs, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The 22-year-old was at the National Stadium in Abuja but didn't participate in any of the team's activities during the session, putting his availability in doubt for Tuesday's fixture.

Chukwueze was at the receiving end of bad tackles by the Ghanaian defenders and soldiered on until the hour mark when he was replaced by Watford star Emmanuel Dennis.

And after the session assistant coach Emmanuel Amuneke said the forward has a slight groin injury though not serious. Chukwueze has some little pains in the back of the muscle.

Also he said Chukwueze did not take part in training as a precaution.

It remains to be seen if Chukwueze will feature in Tuesday’s second leg clash.

Chukwueze was in action in the first leg on Friday but was substituted in the second half.

In the 12th minute, Chukwueze was fouled and was in some distress but managed to continue.
