Iwobi and Chukwueze Strengthen Super Eagles Ahead of Portugal Clash
Alex Iwobi has arrived at the Super Eagles camp in Portugal, with Samuel Chukwueze expected to join later today. Coach Eric Chelle gains a boost as he prepares for the upcoming friendly against Cristiano Ronaldo’s side. Nigeria is eager to avenge the 4-0 defeat suffered in November 2022. Chelle is using this match to test his best lineup and prove the team’s progress against a top European opponent. Iwobi’s return adds creativity in midfield after missing the Poland game. Chukwueze brings direct pace and unpredictability on the flank, giving Nigeria fresh attacking options. Genk left back Christian Akpan has also earned his first senior call. While Pisa striker Rafiu Durosinmi is excused for personal reasons, the Super Eagles remain confident and determined to close the gap on a world-class side.
