AFCON 2023: Ivory Coast star Sebastien Haller doubtful for Super Eagles clash
Ivory Coast forward Sebastien Haller could miss out on the upcoming crucial game against Nigeria in Group A's heavyweight clash.
He missed the hosts' opening-day win over Guinea-Bissau due to an injury and there is no indication that he has recovered in time to face Jose Peseiro's men.

The head coach, Jean-Louis Gasset, shared an update on Haller's fitness during a media interaction on Wednesday.
“Haller is recovering well, as well as he should, in his situation,” Gasset said.
“We shall assess his progress and make a judgement, on match fitness, at the appropriate time.”
The Ivorians will be favorites, owing to recent form and home advantage, and the Super Eagles must be at their absolute best to get all three points from this game.
