The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has invited three players to replace Napoli star Victor Osimhen, Cyprus-based Abdullahi Shehu and Watford attacker Emmanuel Dennis in the Super Eagles squad for the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations, which begins in Cameroon next weekend. The goalkeeping department is untouched, but the forced exclusion of Cyprus-based Shehu has made way for hard-as-nails right back Tyrone Ebuehi and England-based Oluwasemilogo Ajayi. Henry Onyekuru, who was also at the last finals in Egypt, has been excused to provide room for Czech Republic-based forward Peter Olayinka. The tournament will end on 6th February.
