Igoh Ogbu is set to replace suspended Calvin Bassey in Nigeria's third-place match against Egypt at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Bassey received his second yellow card in the knockout rounds against Morocco. Ogbu, who started against Uganda and was a substitute against Algeria, is expected to fill the gap. Coach Éric Chelle may also make other changes for the game, which kicks off at 5pm today at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca. Will Nigeria secure the bronze medal against Egypt?
