Hence, the necessity to hastily find replacements for the unavailable quartet.

Finding solution, the Federation therefore, called up Tyrone Ebuehi,Henry Onyekuru, Peter Olayinka and Oluwasemilogo Ajayi.

The absence of the Napoli striker, Osimhen has paved way for the Olympiacos star, Henry Onyekuru just like Watford winger, Dennis has been replaced by Czech Republic–based forward Peter Olayinka.

Cyprus –based Shehu has also given chance to Ebuehi who plays as a right-back for Venezia in the Serie ‘A’ and Oluwasemilogo Ajayi will come in place of Rangers centre-back, Leon-Balogun.
