Arokodare Ready to Lead Nigeria’s Attack Against Tanzania as Osimhen Sits Out
Tolu Arokodare says he is ready to take his chance for Nigeria in Friday’s AFCON 2027 qualifier against Tanzania in Uyo. With Victor Osimhen unavailable after knee surgery, Arokodare could be among the strikers asked to lead the attack. “As a striker, I need to score goals. That’s my job for the team,” Arokodare said ahead of the match. He added that he is working to bring his club form to the Super Eagles and will be ready whether he starts or comes off the bench. Nigeria need a strong response after their 3–0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau. They host Tanzania in Uyo before travelling for the return fixture on November 17.
