Garba Lawal Urges Eric Chelle to Start Super Eagles Rebuild Now
Former Super Eagles midfielder Garba Lawal believes missing the 2026 World Cup is a chance to reset the national team. He praised coach Eric Chelle for giving new faces a run in friendlies against Iran and Jordan. Lawal warned that no match is easy and that every game should be used to shape a future squad. With key players now in their late 20s, he urged the integration of 21- and 22-year-olds. Building a young core now, he says, will boost Nigeria’s prospects at AFCON 2027.
