Injuries no wan gree rest these boys, as Cyriel Dessers and Bright Osayi-Samuel don scatter plans with their inability to play.

Now, the Super Eagles get serious work ahead. Dem go first face Lesotho for October 10, then dem go carry their gist go Cotonou for Benin on October 14. Na two omo bojuboju matches wey dem need to win if dem wan see World Cup for 2026.
Last time wey Nigeria face Lesotho, dem no gbensh us well. Na dem dey dream say dem fit waka pass us this time. But with Zaidu wey don gather experience from AFCON, dem no go fit dull us.
As for Uche, na this opportunity wehn dey chance am to shine for national duty. E go need to show say e be original as we no fit afford to loose two important matches.
