In a recent statement, Augustine Eguavoen, the head coach of the Nigerian national football team, expressed his confidence in the team’s ability to perform effectively in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, despite the absence of star striker Victor Osimhen.

Eguavoen emphasized that the team has a robust pool of talent capable of stepping up in Osimhen’s place. He acknowledged the striker’s exceptional skills and contributions but assured fans that the squad is well-prepared to face the challenges ahead.

“The depth of our squad allows us to make strategic adjustments without compromising our performance,” Eguavoen stated. “We have capable replacements who can deliver the results we need in the qualifiers. It’s an opportunity for other players to showcase their talents and contribute to the team’s success.”
