Oyogist has learned that Watford forward, Emmanuel Dennis alongside Napoli’s Victor oshimen has been ruled out of Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria due to a mixture of Covid-19 and injury.
Dennis has only played three times for Nigeria since 2019, totalling 25 minutes of senior international football, but he was recalled for this AFCON tournament this year.
No official reason has yet been given for Dennis withdrawing from the Nigeria squad and being ‘excused’ from international duty.
“The email didn’t arrive at the right moment. The national team has a time to send a pre-call. They didn’t respect the days, and I want to see,” Watford’s coach, Rennie had said.
