Ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against the Benin Republic and Rwanda, interim coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, Augustine Eguavoen, has invited 23 players for the games.
Among the players listed for the games is Galatasaray’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, who was absent in the last game against Libya due to injury.
Similarly, Real Sociedad’s Umar Sadiq is also returning to the Super Eagles team after a while out.
The games against Benin and Rwanda will mark the last rounds of qualifiers for the AFCON in Morocco next year.
