Lazio midfielder Ogenyi Onazi could miss Super Eagles' friendly against Mexico on Friday as he is due to arrive Nigeria today to renew his expired Italian residence permit.
.
If he is able to get the permit done, he is scheduled to leave Nigeria on Wednesday and arrive in the US on Thursday, just hours before the Mexico match.
.
Due to this tight schedule, Onazi is unlikely to have enough time with his colleagues to be able to play the high-profile friendly.
.
Meanwhile, the Eagles will leave their German base in Nuremberg for Frankfurt tomorrow, from where they will jet out for the US at 10.05am aboard a Lufthansa flight to Texas. Onazi will be the fourth Eagles player that will miss Friday's friendly following the withdrawal of the Chelsea duo ofVictor Moses and Mikel Obi as well as Turkey-based midfielder,Kalu Uche.
Well i believe that would give us a chance to see the player that would replace him. It would be a big miss though
