Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen has complained about the absence of Victor Osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis in his squad, as the Africa Cup of Nations begin this weekend.
Nigeria heads to Cameroon seeking to win the title they last won in 2013.
They have been drawn in Group D alongside Egypt, Guinea-Bissau, and Sudan.
However, the Eagles’ squad has been hit with withdrawals, as Eguavoen was forced to replace Osimhen, who turns out for Napoli in Serie A, and Dennis, who features for Watford in the Premier League.
While Osimhen was dropped owing to injury concerns and having contracted Covid-19, Dennis, who has enjoyed a good run of form since joining the Hornets, could not make the team’s camp after he was allegedly denied permission by his parent club.
"The only thing is to change the style of play because the personnel is not there as we expected.
“Definitely Victor Osimhen is a big miss, Emmanuel Dennis is in form, also a big miss,” Eguavoen told the media.
