  "account": "Super Eagles forward Moses Usor experienced an injury scare during LASK's 4-0 UEFA Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday, just over a week before Nigeria's qualifier against Tanzania. Usor was substituted at the 75th minute with a reported injury, leaving the severity and duration of his absence unknown. Attention now shifts to LASK's medical evaluation. Earlier, Usor contributed a corner that led to Kasper Jørgensen's opening goal in the 19th minute. Jørgensen added a second, and Samuel Adeniran secured the fourth for LASK. LASK's win, their second in four league-phase games, propelled them to 15th with six points. Slovan, playing without fans due to a UEFA penalty, has suffered four consecutive losses. LASK will travel to Bodø/Glimt on Tuesday, November 24, just as they face Tanzania in Uyo for an AFCON qualifier on Friday, November 13, and the return match in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday, November 17. LASK's coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to announce his squad in the days ahead. Nigeria currently holds three points from two games, trailing leaders Guinea-Bissau by four points. Usor, one of the new additions to Nigeria's squad, scored the decisive goal on his debut against Madagascar in Uyo on September 25. Last season, he contributed 15 goals and five assists in 35 competitive games for LASK. This story is based solely on facts and figures provided, without any speculation or personal commentary.",
