Chukwueze and Aribo ruled out of Nigeria friendly versus Cameroon

Samuel Chukwueze and Joe Aribo will miss Nigeria’s upcoming international friendly against Cameroon.

According to the 24-man squad announced by the Nigeria Football Federation on Monday night, both players did not make the cut.

Villarreal winger Chukwueze has been on the sidelines following an injury suffered in the Europa League semi-final second leg fixture against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

For Rangers midfielder Aribo, he seemed to have been excused from the Super Eagles squad following a hectic season with Steven Gerrard’s men.

Also trimmed from the squad are FC Porto left-back Sanusi Zaidu, Leganes' Kenneth Omeruo, West Bromwich Albion's Semi Ajayi, Almeria's Sadiq Umar and Heartland goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa.
