Super Eagles forward Cyriel Dessers will not be available for Nigeria’s upcoming international friendly against Russia, as he is set to tie the knot this week.
Dessers, who plays for Rangers FC in Scotland, has been a popular name among fans calling for his inclusion in the national team squad following his impressive display in the recent 4 Nations Unity Tournament. He featured in two matches, scoring once and providing an assist in Nigeria’s win over Jamaica, which was sealed in a penalty shootout.
Despite his strong performance, the Nigeria Football Federation confirmed that Dessers will not be part of the team facing Russia. The 29-year-old forward is currently focused on preparations for his wedding, which coincides with the timing of the fixture.
His absence is strictly due to personal commitments, and not related to injury or form.
