The Cheetahs of Benin Republic are facing a major injury crisis ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Nigeria and Libya.
Reliable defenders Cedric Hountondji and Olivier Verdon were ruled out of the games earlier this week.
Also, midfielder Matteo Ahlinvi and left-back David Kiki will also now miss the games, according to Joeuios Beninois.
Ahlinvi picked up an injury, while in action for his Swedish side, Vasteras last weekend and will stay at the club for treatment.
Kiki, who recently returned to training after a two-month injury layoff is not ready for action yet.
Head coach, Gernot Rohr has decided against calling up replacements for the quartet.
The Cheetahs will host the Super Eagles on Thursday and travel to Libya next week Monday.
