Victor Osimhen’s arrival is a major boost for the squad. The Galatasaray striker remains Nigeria’s top attacking option, and his presence will be crucial in the team’s quest for three points. 

He is joined by Tolu Arokodare, the Racing Genk forward who will be looking to impress the coaching staff with his performance in training.

Both shot-stoppers will be competing for a place in the starting lineup.

With more players expected to arrive in the coming hours, the Super Eagles are gradually assembling their full squad in Kigali. 

The team’s preparation will intensify as the coaching staff fine-tunes strategies for the crucial qualifier.

The Super Eagles will be seeking to put in a strong performance as they aim to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 

With training sessions set to commence in full force, Nigerian fans will be eagerly anticipating further updates as more players join the squad in Kigali.
