Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho has been left out of Nigeria's final squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. The 22-year-old had earned a spot in the 25-man provisional squad last month, despite a patchy run of form. Other than that, the majority of the players that featured on the global stage at the 2018 World Cup in Russia are named in Gernot Rohr's squad. In-form Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze and fellow under-17 World Cup winner Victor Osimhen are both included and will get a chance to make their first tournament appearances at senior level. The three-time champions will play in Group B at the Nations Cup, alongside Guinea, Madagascar and Burundi.
