Alhassan Yusuf is expected to miss Nigeria's Group B clash with hosts Cote d'Ivoire due to injury.

The injury is, however, not serious, and he is expected to be available for the Super Eagles final group game against Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau.

The 23-year-old missed training on Monday and Tuesday due to the setback.

Head coach Jose Peseiro has a number of options to pick from in midfield.

Joe Aribo, Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho are all available for selection.
