Nigerian forwards, Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho will miss the Super Eagles’ international friendly match against Mozambique.
This was made known in a tweet via the team’s handle on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
According to the tweet, Napoli striker, Osimhen, will miss the game due to a “precautionary measure” as advised by the Eagles’ medical team.
Ihenacho, who plies his trade at England’s Leicester City, has been ruled out due to “pressing personal issues.”
The duo featured in Nigeria’s 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia on Friday.
Nigeria registered two goals – an own goal by Saudi defender, Amir, and substitute Iheanacho in the 81st minute.
The Super Eagles will play Mozambique on Monday, October 16, at the Estadio municipal de albufeira, Portugala.
