Meet Eagles’ new boys for Madagascar, G’Bissau AFCON qualifiers

Nigeria's national football team, the Super Eagles, has named a 24-player squad for upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau. The squad includes three new call-ups: Al-Ittihad forward George Ilenikhena, Alverca left-back Isaac James, and LASK forward Moses Usor. Head coach Eric Chelle selected the players ahead of the matches scheduled for September 25 and 29. Ilenikhena, who recently improved his performance with Al Ittihad, is expected to challenge for a starting spot due to injuries to key forwards Victor Osimhen and Paul Onuachu. James was added due to the injury of Zaidu Sanusi, while Usor's impressive season with LASK has made him a fan favorite.
