Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has disclosed why key forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman will not be part of Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming international friendlies against Poland and Portugal.
Nigeria are scheduled to face Poland in Warsaw on Wednesday before taking on Portugal in Leiria on June 10.
Both Osimhen and Lookman were initially named in Chelle’s squad when the list was released two weeks ago. However, the duo will now miss the fixtures for different reasons.
Speaking to the Super Eagles media, Chelle explained that Osimhen has been left out to focus on resolving his club future, while Lookman has been excused following a request from Atletico Madrid.
