Super Eagles fans have blasted Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi after he picked up a yellow card in Nigeria's 3-2 win over Libya in Sfax on Tuesday evening, a booking that will see him miss next month's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa.

Ndidi was one of the four Super Eagles players a booking away from an automatic one-game ban, and it was thought he had escaped a suspension only for him to be booked by referee Joshua Bondo following an altercation with a Libyan player in the 90th minute.

Super Eagles fans have voiced their displeasure with the Super Eagles number four and stressed that the yellow card could have been avoided.
