Coach Sunday Oliseh flown to Belgium for urgent medical treatment.

Head coach of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh, has been flown to Belgium for treatment on Thursday, after his health condition worsened. According to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)’s official Twitter handle, the former national team captain became dizzy and weak after lunch and had to fly out from Port Harcourt.

“Coach Sunday Oliseh has returned to Belgium to continue treatment after being advised by Eagles medics,” the tweet read. “He became dizzy and weak after lunch on Thursday and he travels abroad tonight through the Port Harcourt Airport.” This means Oliseh will not be on the touchline, when the home-based Eagles take on Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou, in the second leg of their CHAN qualifier this weekend. “Yes, he’ll not travel with the team to Ouagadogou. He’s off to Belgium on medical grounds,” a source revealed.
