Can Osayi-Samuel, Onyekuru take opportunities to impress for Super Eagles?

As Osimhen, Chukwueze and Musa struggle for form and fitness, the Turkey-based duo could be the beneficiaries in the medium-to-long term

If there’s one factor that seems to be ignored in the discussion around Gernot Rohr’s recent stewardship of the Super Eagles, it is that, all too frequently, he has had to do without what most would consider his first-choice front three.

In the October international window, he was shorn of first-choice striker Victor Osimhen, and a month on he had to without both the Napoli man and Samuel Kalu. Not since the November 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin in Uyo has he been able to field his preferred attack.
