77 Alhassan Yusuf is allayed fears over concerns that he suffered a serious injury in the Super Eagles’ 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea in their opening Group A game at AFCON 2023 on Sunday.
Yusuf made his competitive debut for the Super Eagles as he was named in the starting line-up.
The Royal Antwerp midfielder was one of few Super Eagles players who impressed in the disappointing draw with Equatorial Guinea.
However, Yusuf had to be replaced in the 69th minute by Joe Aribo after going down holding his left thigh.
Speaking to journalists in a short video posted on Brila FM’s X, the midfielder said he only suffered cramp.
The Eagles will hope to get their campaign on track when they take on hosts Côte d’Ivoire on Thursday, 18 January.
The Ivorians defeated Guinea-Bissau 2-0 in the opening game of the tournament on Saturday.
