Super Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong, has been ruled out of the May 27th friendly game against Mali in Rouen, France, but will be available for the Luxembourg clash few days later.
The Norway-based defender cancelled his plans for the game due to club engagements, AfricanFootball reported.
"Troost-Ekong has been excused for the Mali game on account of a crucial cup game involving his club on May 25. He is his club captain and the earliest he can join the Eagles will be on May 26, which effectively rules him out of the Mali game the next day," a top official of the Nigeria Football Federation said.
"But he will get his chance in the second friendly in Luxembourg now slated for May 31."
FK Haugesund will be away to Bodo/Glimt in the fourth round of the NM Cupen on Wednesday, May 25. Ekong, 22, made his debut for the Super Eagles in June 2015 in an African Nations Cup 2017 qualifier against Chad in Kaduna.
The defender, who is on loan at Norwegian club Haugesund from Belgian club Gent, had represented the Netherlands at U19 and U20 levels as he was born there and his mother is Dutch.
