Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has decided to drop three players from the team following the 0-3 defeat to Guinea-Bissau in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
The coach who has now shifted his focus to the November back to back game against Tanzania, but also used the defeat as a yard stick to make some decisions regarding his team for the November game.
We can exclusively reveal that the trio of Bright Osayi-Samuel, Bruno Onyemaechi and Tolu Arokodare will likely not be part of the team going forward.
However a decision on Onyemaechi will only be made, if there are no issues in the options the coach has in his plan for the games against Tanzania.
Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Raphael Onyedika is another one who is also facing the prospect of getting dropped with Alhassan Yusuf set to be fit and available, and seen by Chelle as a better fit to his system as seen in the Unity Cup tournament in June.
