Osimhen Ruled Out: Who Should Lead the Super Eagles Attack Against Madagascar?

The Super Eagles have begun preparations for their 2027 AFCON qualifiers, starting with Friday’s match against Madagascar in Uyo. Victor Osimhen has been ruled out through injury, with Taiwo Awoniyi called up as his replacement. Tolu Arokodare is also a fitness concern after recovering from illness, despite scoring in Ajax’s match against Excelsior. Coach Eric Chelle must now decide whether to start Awoniyi, Akor Adams or Arokodare as Nigeria’s No. 9. Can the Super Eagles beat Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau without Osimhen, or should the team adjust its attacking approach?
