Super Eagles star RULED OUT for season ahead of Nigeria’s friendly against Ghana
Super Eagles star Tyronne Ebuehi has been ruled out for the season ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming friendly games against Ghana and Mali in Morocco.
The Nigerian full-back was preparing for the games against the Black Stars and the Eagles after being included in the 26-man list for the friendlies.
However, the former Benfica defender will now miss these ties and joins other Nigerian stars who will be unavailable for national team duty.
Newly invited defender Gabriel Osho and Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi have already withdrawn from the squad after being invited.
Ebuehi’s club, Empoli, confirmed the Nigerian international’s season was all but over after partially damaging his anterior cruciate ligament during their game against Bologna over the weekend.
According to a report by Soccernet, the Italian Serie A club confirmed this development in an official statement released on their website.
“Empoli Football Club announces that the instrumental investigations to which the footballer, Tyronne Ebuehi, who came out during Friday’s match with Bologna, was subjected, have highlighted the partial injury of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee.”
Finidi George, the stand-in coach for the Super Eagles, will need to call up a replacement for Tyronne Ebuehi, who has been ruled out due to injury.
This replacement will need to be finalized before all the players arrive at the training camp.
Additionally, Victor Osimhen is also a doubt for the upcoming friendlies, as he was left on the bench for Napoli’s recent match against Inter Milan. His availability for the games against Ghana and Mali is uncertain.

Man Utd CANCEL end of season dinner following worst campaign under Ten Hag
Manchester United has reportedly cancelled their end-of-season awards meal, originally scheduled for May 20, to avoid distracting players ahead of the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
This tradition, dating back more than a decade, typically includes prizes for men’s, women’s, and academy team players, such as the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year Award.
This decision, consulted with Erik ten Hag and management, marks the second time in three years that the ceremony has been called off.
Despite the cancellation of the gathering, awards will still be voted for and handed out among the players.
The cancellation comes amid a challenging season for United’s men’s team, currently sitting eighth in the Premier League and on course for their worst finish in the club’s Premier League history.
In contrast, the women’s team recently celebrated success by lifting the FA Cup with a 4-0 win over Tottenham.

Arsenal supporters MOCK Old Trafford’s leaking roof as they celebrate returning to top
Manchester United faced another setback on Sunday as rain poured through Old Trafford’s leaky roof after a home defeat to Arsenal.
Despite improvements from their previous match, Erik ten Hag’s side couldn’t find the net, succumbing to a 1-0 loss.
The sudden thunderstorms exposed issues with the roof, leading to a torrent of water cascading onto the pitch.
Fans had to seek cover, highlighting the sorry state of the iconic stadium.
Many supporters expressed frustration on social media, criticizing the Glazers for neglecting Old Trafford’s upkeep and maintenance.
Some fans called for immediate action to fix the roof and address other stadium issues, pointing out that the neglect has left the club trailing behind others.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, following his purchase of the club, planned significant upgrades, including addressing the roof and other infrastructure problems.
The decline of Old Trafford, once a premier stadium, has become symbolic of the Glazers’ neglect over the past 18 years.
As rivals enjoy modern facilities, Manchester United’s stadium woes have become a target for mockery, with even opposing fans singing about its deterioration.
