Akor Adams leaves Super Eagles camp for sick mother after Mozambique win
Super Eagles striker Akor Adams has left Nigeria's AFCON 2025 camp following their 4-0 victory over Mozambique in the round of 16. The team confirmed on X that Adams was granted permission to be with his hospitalized mother, who fell ill yesterday. Despite learning of his mother's condition before the match, Adams started and scored the final goal against the Mambas. Nigeria now faces either DR Congo or Algeria in the quarter-finals this Saturday. It's unclear if the Sevilla striker will return in time for that crucial game. Adams had dedicated his goal to his 'sick' mother in a post-match message. The Super Eagles are currently in Morocco for the tournament.
