Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has lamented the absences of Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and four other players ahead of this month’s friendly matches against Portugal and Poland, The PUNCH reports.
Chelle revealed that Osimhen, Lookman, Alhassan Yusuf, Samson Tijani, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro and newcomer Femi Azeez will not be part of the two matches after leading Nigeria to a second consecutive Unity Cup title in London on Saturday.
US-based midfielder Yusuf scored twice, while Terem Moffi also got on the scoresheet as Nigeria beat Jamaica 3-0 at The Valley to claim their fourth title at the invitational tournament.
“Now we have two games against Poland and Portugal and I have lots of problems because some players don’t have visas: Tijani, Yusuf and we will miss them. We will travel with 18 players and see what happens with Poland and Portugal,” Chelle said in his post-match interview on Saturday.
