Ahmed Musa is back

[Tobi17]

WTF is Emmanuel Dennis doing on the list? My goodness Pisseiro really needs to be taken out fast, this fat pig even bent over for Musa? Useless list!!!!!

It’s just a provisional list that would be trimmed down to 23

[1naija]

We have become a very average team. Only Osimhen, Iwobi, Moses, Chukwueze, and Ndidi are credible players on the team.

[Lolly]

We have become a very average team. Only Osimhen, Iwobi, Moses, Chukwueze, and Ndidi are credible players on the team.

So Chukwueze is credible but Lookman who is doing better in the same league and has performed better for Nigeria in recent games is not?

Terem moffi hamstring injury I doubt he makes it

[waka-man]

There are only 5 places to fight for on this team. And 3 of those are keepers. So in reality, only two more outfielders can join the dead certs:

Ola Aina
Bright Osayi-Samuel
Jamilu Collins
Zaidu Sanusi
Bruno Onyemaechi
Semi Ajayi
Calvin Bassey
Kenneth Omeruo

Wilfred Ndidi
Frank Onyeka
Alex Iwobi

Victor Osimhen
Victor Boniface
Ademola Lookman
Nathan Tella
Moses Simon
Samuel Chukwueze
Kelechi Iheanacho

My suspicion is Aribo will get a shirt and one other midfielder. I can’t see how you fit Sadiq and/or Moffi in this side although they might sneak in. The rest are on that long-list so we can say we have a long-list and as reserves in case of injury.

If it’s 27 instead of 23, I think you’ll see two of those midfielders plus Sadiq and one other (if Moffi is injured)

For Goalkeepers would definitely be

1. Francis Uzoho
2. Adebayo Adeleye
3. Stanley Nwabali

I would cap squad at 23 and not waste money unnecessarily.
Yes 23 is must and extra 4 is optional according to CAF

It’s not credible because CAF allows for a 23 man squad and not 27

Correct but note that 27 is not unusual because there is a list of four or so players that actually travel and used for late window replacement of an injured squad player.

[1naija]

How did Lookman perform better for Nigeria than Chukwueze when Chukwueze was injured? Besides, my point is that the entire list is filled with nothing but average players.

We have become a very average team. Only Osimhen, Iwobi, Moses, Chukwueze, and Ndidi are credible players on the team.

So Chukwueze is credible but Lookman who is doing better in the same league and has performed better for Nigeria in recent games is not?

Angola released a 23 man squad yesterday

Decent list. The 2 main surprises to me are the inclusion of Musa and Dennis.

Musa is past his prime, Dennis has talent but is unpredictable. With Chuwkueze not yet in form and Tella getting limited minutes at Bayer, would have liked to see another option on the wings such as Ejuke or Onyekuru. Lookman can play on the wings but is better as a support striker, and playing Iheanacho on the right is not ideal.

Not too suprised with Orban's exclusion. We have plenty of other quality forwards.

Peseiro must include 6 or 7 midfielders in the final squad to give it balance. I have my doubts on whether he'll do that.

Not sure about the credibility of the final 27 reported on Owngoal. Will wait for something more official.
