“In addition to Osimhen’s injury, Orlando Pirates defender Olisa Ndah will also miss the two Libya matches due to injury. Ndah, who is considered one of the pillars of the Nigerian national team’s defence, played a decisive role in the recent match against Benin, as he helped keep his team’s goal clean. Their new coach, Nasser Al-Hadhiri, his assistant Akram Al-Hammami, and Abu Bakr Al-Hark have called up three players as replacements for key absentees. While Libya opened camp since Monday, Nigeria have yet to release the list of players for the double header, let alone call players to camp. Libya are rock bottom with one point from opening day’s 1-1 home draw against Rwanda and were edged 2-1 by Benin Republic in their second game in Ivory Coast.
