Super Eagles: Nwaiwu replaces injured Bassey for Iran, Jordan friendlies

Trabzonspor defender Chibuike Nwaiwu has replaced Calvin Bassey in the Super Eagles’ squad for international friendlies against Iran and Jordan, DAILY POST reports.

Bassey pulled out of the upcoming friendlies due to a back injury.

The centre-back sustained the injury during Fulham’s 3-1 victory over Burnley at the Craven Cottage last weekend.

It’s the first time Nwaiwu has been invited to the Super Eagles.

The 22-year-old joined Trabzonspor from Austrian club, Wolfsberger AC in January.

The Enyimba star has scored two goals and registered one assist in 10 league appearances for the Black Sea Storm.
