AFCON 2021Super Eagles

Official Super Eagles squad numbers for AFCON 2021

The Super Eagles squad numbers for AFCON 2021 have been revealed as the team prepares to travel to Cameroun on Wednesday.

As at the time of filling this report, a total of 25 Eagles are in the Abuja Camp with just Odion Ighalo, Jamilu Collins, and Tyronne Ebuehi yet to join the camp.

Just as we reported yesterday, Odion Ighalo could be replaced as he might not be released by his Saudi club

His replacement is also complicated with report in the media suggesting Cyriel Dessers.

The issue with this option is that the Feyenoord striker was not included in the provisional squad.

Meaning Nigeria is left with the options of Akinkunmi Amoo and Terem Moffi but we await the official confirmation.
