Transfer: Flying Eagles striker moves to Austrian club Altach on loan

Kwara United technical adviser Suleiman Ashifat has attributed his team’s defeat to injuries.

The Harmony Boys suffered a 3-1 loss against the People’s Elephant at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, on Sunday.

Kwara United were struck by injuries to two key players during the warm-up for the game, forcing a tactical adjustment by the technical team.

Suleiman promised that the team would regroup and make amends for the defeat in forthcoming matches.

“We had to change our game pattern a few minutes into the match because two of our regular players, including midfielder Philip Ozor and one defender, sustained injuries during the warm-up,” Suleiman told Kwara United’s media.

“Football is like that sometimes. We will go back, prepare, and regroup for our next game.”

Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, has revealed what he will do if the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, decides to retain him after the end of the AFCON tournament in Morocco.

Chelle led Nigeria to the semi-final stage before they lost to the host nation, Morocco.

Chelle’s men will take on Egypt on Saturday evening in a third-place playoff.

The Malian, who was appointed in January 2025, said he would bring in new players to the national team if the NFF retains him after the 2025 AFCON.

“If God gives me the chance to be the coach after this tournament, I’ve to bring some players,” Chelle said at his pre-match interview.

“My dream is to have twenty-two players, and all of them can take on the opposition. There is a lot of work to achieve that.”

Eric Chelle has marked his one year anniversary in charge of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, DAILY POST reports.

The Malian was appointed Super Eagles head coach on January 7, 2025.

Chelle’s appointment divided opinion among the Super Eagles’ faithfuls but he has steadily won over some of his critics especially with his team’s impressive displays at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Under the 48-year-old’s tutelage, the Super Eagles have suffered just one defeat in 16 games, with 10 wins, and five draws.

The West Africans have also scored 34 goals, and conceded 15.

Chelle will look to guide the Super Eagles to another win when they take on the Desert Foxes of Algeria in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.
