Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has expressed firm confidence that Nigeria’s national team will handle the challenge of facing Poland, even as key attacking stars Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman are ruled out of the fixture.
Chelle, speaking ahead of the international clash, stressed that the squad possesses sufficient depth and tactical flexibility to compensate for the absence of the two star forwards, and called on the available players to step up and prove their quality on the international stage.
“We have quality players who are ready. The team is bigger than any individual. We go to face Poland to win.” — Coach Eric Chelle
The match presents a crucial opportunity for fringe attackers to stake a strong claim for regular starting positions in the Eagles’ squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
Nigerian football fans will be watching closely to see which players seize the moment in the absence of the team’s first-choice forwards. CDA News Nigeria will bring you full match coverage and reaction.
