Chelle confirms Osimhen, Lookman to miss European friendlies

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has confirmed that several key players, including Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, will be unavailable for Nigeria’s upcoming international friendlies against Poland and Portugal.

The announcement comes shortly after Nigeria retained the Unity Cup title with a convincing 3-0 victory over Jamaica in London.

Chelle disclosed that a combination of personal commitments, club requests and administrative issues will prevent some members of his squad from participating in the June fixtures.

Osimhen, Lookman unavailable for selection

Osimhen is set to miss both matches after being granted permission to focus on matters related to his club future amid ongoing transfer speculation.

The striker has been linked with a number of clubs following another productive season and will remain away from the national team camp as discussions continue.
