Caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen has sprung some interesting surprises in tonight’s all-important 2025 AFCON qualifier against Benin.
SCORENigeria can exclusively reveal that Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho, whose inclusion on the squad has been questioned because of his lack of goals for his La Liga clubs, as well as new call-up Gabriel Osho will both start tonight.
Osho, 26, was first called up for friendlies against Ghana and Mali in March but injury prevented him from honouring the invitation.
The central defender has enjoyed regular first-team football with French Ligue 1 club AJ Auxerre.
Kick-off tonight is 8pm.
