Former Manchester United striker, Odion Jude Ighalo 32, will miss out on the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
His club Al Shabab has explained that they didn’t receive his invitation on time to let him go.
The Nigerian was the top scorer of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations after scoring five goals where the Super Eagles finished 3rd.
Nigeria is going in for their 4th title. Their last honor was in 2013 where they beat Burkina Faso in the finals to lift the trophy.
The three-time champions will compete in Group D in the upcoming edition alongside most successful winners Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau.
