As the reality sinks into the nerves of Super Eagles’ fans that top strikers Victor Osimhen and Jude Ighalo are not part of the squad at the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon, the coach, Austen Eguavoen, is banking solace in Kelechi Iheanacho and Simon Chukwueze in the front line.
This is the picture of the squad list shared on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development on Tuesday, towards Eagles’ opening match against Egypt, starting at 5pm.
