Nigeria coach Eric Chelle is reportedly set to announce his squad for the crucial games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Chelle initially unveiled a 39-man provisional list and is expected to prune down the squad to 23 for the two matches.
The West African powerhouse travel to Kigali to face Rwanda on March 21 before hosting Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on March 25 in the fifth and sixth rounds of the qualifiers.
Currently sitting fifth in Group C, Nigeria trails Rwanda, South Africa, Benin Republic, and Lesotho.
Nigeria has only managed draws against Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and South Africa before suffering a disappointing 2-1 loss to Benin.
With only the top team earning automatic qualification, Nigeria must deliver results quickly to revive qualification hopes.
It is important to note Nigeria missed out in the last edition of the World Cup after falling short to rivals Ghana in the playoffs.
