In preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe and Lesotho, Nigeria's Super Eagles will face challenges as key players Victor Osimhen and Wilfred Ndidi will miss the matches due to injuries sustained during recent games.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) released the squad list for the November encounters, revealing notable absences, including AC Milan's Samuel Chukwueze. Despite facing criticism, goalkeeper Francis Uzoho secured a spot on the roster.
The squad of 23 players is gearing up for the qualifying matches, striving to secure a place in the prestigious global football event set for the US, Mexico, and Canada. The Super Eagles, three-time African champions, are positioned in Group C alongside South Africa, Rwanda, Benin, Zimbabwe, and Lesotho.
