Nigeria’s Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, releases squad lists for the upcoming AFCON qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau, along with an international friendly against Russia. Both outlets report that striker Victor Osimhen is included in the squad, which is presented as a 24-man list.
The selections come ahead of the September–October international break. Vanguard and Legit.ng both state that the camp includes players for both the qualifying fixtures and the Russia friendly, indicating Chelle is using the matches to combine AFCON preparation with broader international exposure.
While the two reports align on the overall announcement and the inclusion of Osimhen, they differ in emphasis. Vanguard highlights the “full list” framing of the 24-man squad, whereas Legit.ng focuses on the broader AFCON qualifier reference for the period and also mentions Nwabali alongside Osimhen. Neither outlet provides additional context on selection criteria in the excerpts provided.
