The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has released a 26-man squad list for the upcoming international friendly matches later this month against Ghana and Mali.
The Super Eagles will take on their rivals Black Stars in a friendly on March 22, 2024, at the Stade Grande Marrakech in Morocco.
Four days later, they will come up against Mali in another friendly fixture at the same venue in Marrakech.
Even though the AFCON 2023 finalists are currently without a substantive head coach, former player and coach Augustine Eguavoen is expected to lead the team against Ghana and Mali.
Portuguese trainer Jose Peseiro left his position as head coach of Nigeria after his contract expired last week.
The squad list released by the NFF on Saturday consists of the majority of the AFCON 2023 squad, including star man Victor Osimhen.
Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, Sadiq Umar, and Taiwo Awoniyi, who missed the tournament in Cote d’Ivoire due to injuries have been named.
Luton Town and English-born defender Gabriel Osho has been listed for the very first time for the upcoming friendlies.
Below is the full squad list:
