Eric Chelle picked his final squad for Nigeria's World Cup matches. He cut Ahmed Musa and Maduka Okoye from the team despite their experience. Musa holds the record as Nigeria's player with the most games played. Despite appearing on the first list of 39 players, he missed making the final group.
The Super Eagles must win their upcoming games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe to stay on track. Players will gather on March 16 in Kigali before facing Rwanda five days later. They will then head home to play against Zimbabwe in Uyo. Both matches matter greatly for their World Cup dreams.
Stanley Nwabali from South Africa's Chippa United leads the goalkeepers. Amas Obasogie and Kayode Bankole join him between the posts. The defense features William Ekong playing in Saudi Arabia and Bright Osayi-Samuel from Turkey. Others include Bruno Onyemaechi, Calvin Bassey, Olaoluwa Aina, and Igoh Ogbu.
English Premier League stars dominate the midfield positions. Wilfred Ndidi represents Leicester City alongside Fulham's Alex Iwobi. European clubs supply most players like Raphael Onyedika, Alhassan Yusuf, Joe Aribo, and Papa Mustapha. The attack looks strong, with Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, Ademola Lookman, Victor Boniface, Simon Moses, Sadiq Umar, Nathan Tella, and Tolu Arokodare representing top European teams.
