Torino wing-back, Ola Aina, has been forced to withdraw from Nigeria’s squad to face Brazil in an international friendly fixture on Sunday afternoon in Singapore due to injury.

Aina, a former Chelsea star, was involved in a domestic accident.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) made this known in a tweet on their official Twitter page on Wednesday.

“Just in: Torino of Italy wing-back Ola Aina is out of Sunday’s international friendly against Brazil,” NFF tweeted.

“He picked up an injury after a domestic accident and will not be available. #SoarSuperEagles #Team9jaStrong.”

The kick-off time for the match is 1pm.
