Despite the anticipation surrounding the match, Nwakali finds himself on the sidelines, having been omitted from the squad for the Ghana clash.

Currently plying his trade with Portuguese side Chaves, the 25-year-old midfielder continues to make waves in the league, tallying 4 assists in 26 appearances this season.

However, since AFCON 2021, Nwakali has not received a call-up for the Super Eagles.
