According to reports in Vanguard News (Vanguard News) and Daily Post Nigeria (Daily Post Nigeria), seven players will be absent from the Super Eagles squad for Tuesday’s friendly against Russia. The absences are due to injuries, club restrictions and a residence permit issue affecting the squad. This development could impact the team’s preparations ahead of the upcoming international fixture. Kelechi Iheanacho, who had been left out of recent Super Eagles squads following a difficult spell at club level, is reportedly set to return to the team. His impressive form for Turkish second-tier side Bursaspor has earned him a call-up. It remains unclear how this personnel change will affect the team’s performance against Russia. The Super Eagles have not yet released an official list of invited players, making the situation somewhat uncertain.
