Jose Peseiro has revealed that he has ideal stand-ins for the absent Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho in the upcoming match against Mozambique.
Both players have been ruled out after their participation in a recent 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia. Napoli's Osimhen suffered an injury during the game and has returned to Italy for medical treatment. Kelechi Iheanacho, who played a role in Nigeria's second goal, has left the camp for personal reasons.
Despite these setbacks, Super Eagles coach Peseiro remains confident in the quality of replacements at his disposal.
He stated, "We will miss Kelechi and Victor, but we have other good players who can make Nigeria proud. I look at the bench and see players who can step up and take their chances."
The upcoming match, which marks the fifth-ever senior-level encounter between Nigeria and Mozambique, is set to kick off at the Estadio Municipal de Albufeira at 4 pm Nigeria time.
