Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle remains unfazed by the absence of star attackers Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman for Wednesday’s international friendly against Poland. Speaking at his pre-match press conference in Warsaw on Tuesday, the Malian tactician emphasized that Nigeria boasts significant squad depth.
“There are several good players within the team who can step up and fill the void left by those not available,” Chelle stated, though he declined to specify his tactical adjustments. The coach had earlier confirmed that both Osimhen and Lookman would miss the encounter.
Nigeria enters the fixture on a high after a commanding 3-0 victory over Jamaica in the Unity Cup final in London over the weekend. The upcoming match against Poland provides an opportunity for fringe players to stake their claim for regular spots in the squad as Chelle continues to build toward future competitions.
