Eguavoen Brings Back Osimhen, Sadiq for AFCON Qualifiers Against Benin, Rwanda

by Beyondboders

Nigeria’s Super Eagles head coach, Austin Eguavoen, has announced the return of key players for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers this month.

Striker Victor Osimhen has been recalled to the squad, along with Real Sociedad forward Sadiq Umar and defender Gabriel Osho.

Osimhen missed Nigeria’s last matches against Libya in October due to an injury with his club, Galatasaray. He is now fit and expected to boost the team’s attack.

Osho steps in for Semi Ajayi, who is injured, while Sadiq takes the place of Taiwo Awoniyi, who was left out of the squad.

Defender Victor Collins from Nasarawa United is the only home-based player in the lineup, marking his first call-up to the national team.
