Nigeria\u2019s Enugu Rangers has been kicked out of the CAF Confederations Cup after fielding an ineligible player against Sfaxien of Tunisia, MTNFootball.com reports.<\/p>\n

According to an official statement by the Confederation of African Football, goalkeeper Daniel Emmanuel was not properly registered for the competition, but was fielded by Rangers during matches against the Tunisians.<\/p>\n

Rangers won the first leg in Enugu 1-0 and held the Tunisians to a goalless draw in the return fixture.<\/p>\n

Sfaxien has thus replaced Rangers in Group A of the Confederations Cup.<\/p>\n

The other teams in the group are Stade Malien of Mali, Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia and Saint Georges from Ethiopia.<\/p>\n
