AFCON: Osimhen returns as Eguavoen names 23-man squad for Rwanda, Benin clash

Super Eagles interim coach Austin Eguavoen has named a 23-man squad for the upcoming 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Rwanda and Benin

Goalkeepers: Stanley Nwabali, Maduka Okoye, Amas Obasogie

Defenders: Bright Osayi-Samuel, Calvin Bassey, William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina, Bruno Onyemeachi, Gabriel Osho, Victor Collins.

Forwards: Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon, Kelechi Iheanacho, Victor Boniface, Umar Sadiq.

The Super Eagles will face Benin on November 14, followed by a home match against Rwanda in Uyo on November 18.
