Super Eagles boss Jose Peseiro has remained optimistic about the injury sustained by Stanley Nwabali.
Francis Uzoho replaces Nwabali in the 79th minute after he sustained an injury during the game.
The Portuguese gaffer said during the post-match conference that is yet to know the degree of the wound but wants him back for the quarter-final game.
“We will assess the state of Nwabali’s injury in the next 24 to 48 hours. It’s difficult to assess his condition, while we were in the match.
But I am hoping that he will be fit for the next match… I want him to play. And the players want him to play”, he said.
