Onyemaechi sustained an injury in Boavista’s 3-1 defeat to Farense on Sunday.
The left-back was replaced by Filipe Ferreira in the 56th minute.
The 24-year-old has featured regularly for the Super Eagles in recent outings.
Cardiff City’s Jamilu Collins is the other left-back in the team.
Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze and Wilfred Ndidi were not included in the squad for the games due to injuries.
