Ukraine vs Nigeria: New Super Eagles Invitee, Maja Takes Over Mikel Obi’s Number 10 Shirt

New Super Eagles invitee, Josh Maja, will be wearing jersey number 10 for Tuesday’s international friendly against Ukraine at the Dnipro Arena, according to Sporting Life.
The iconic jersey was worn by John Mikel Obi, who retired from international football after this year’s Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Maja who plays for French Ligue 1 side, Bordeaux, was a late call up for the friendly following the withdrawal of key players.
Alex Iwobi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong, and Leon Balogun have retained their shirt numbers ahead of the match.
Rohr’s men will be facing a Ukraine side, that has never lost to an Africa side in the last seven years.
Kick off is 7.30pm.

Maradona Death Probe Widens To Include Nurses, Psychologist

A psychologist and two nurses who helped care for football legend Diego Maradona before his death have been added to a widening involuntary manslaughter probe, a judicial source told local media Monday.
Maradona died of a heart attack outside Buenos Aires on November 25, weeks after undergoing brain surgery on a blood clot.
His psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and heart surgeon Leopoldo Luque are already under investigation, as they were treating Maradona before his death.
The three people newly under investigation must appear before prosecutors this week, the judicial source told local media.
Investigators are trying to determine if any of the five people who had Maradona in their care were in any way negligent.
Maradona was suffering from liver, kidney, and cardiovascular disorders, but there were no signs of alcohol or narcotics consumption, according to his autopsy.
Luque, the surgeon, in November responded to the launch of an investigation for involuntary manslaughter by saying he did “everything he could, up to the impossible” for an “unmanageable” patient.
A first autopsy conducted the day Maradona died found he had suffered from the liquid on the lungs with acute heart failure brought on by a disease of the heart muscles that makes it harder to pump blood.
