The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria will likely make more adjustments to the Super Eagles squad for the world cup qualifiers games against South Africa and Benin Republic respectively, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Already the coach has replaced star striker Victor Osimhen with Enugu Rangers left back Kenneth Igboke, but that is likely going to be one of the three changes in the squad, per what we exclusively gathered.
Finidi is sweating on the fitness of AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze who has been out injured for three weeks, but gave the coach his word that he will be fit for the games. It looks unlikely though as he isn’t back in training with less than ten days to the game.
The situation is the same for Brentford’s midfielder Frank Onyeka who also gave his words to the coaches that he will be fit for both games, but might miss them or play in one based on how he recovers before the first game on the 7th of June.
Both players will be replaced in the team by players from teams in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) if by Saturday the coaches don’t get a confirmation on their availability for the games.
