Balogun will not take part in the Africa Cup of Nations against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania owing to an ankle injury he has been nursing since Wednesday, according to the Nigerian head coach, Sunday Oliseh. Read what Oliseh said after the cut
The 27-year-old FSV Mainz 05 defender once again sat out of the Super Eagles training session at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam like he did on Thursday and Friday in Abuja.
"He's been aching in the ankle. He got the knock in training and we've been trying to get him on (in good shape). This has been going on since Wednesday morning. We've been working on him almost on hourly basis to try to get him in shape but we have solutions and we'll try to get the others to play," said Oliseh.
Warri Wolves right-back, Solomon Kwambe is expected to replace him.
