#SuperEagles manager Éric Chelle has explained why superstars Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman will miss the upcoming international friendly matches against Poland and Portugal.

“For now, we have two games, Poland and Portugal and I have a lot of problems because some players don’t have a decent form,” Chelle told reporters after the Super Eagles' victory over the Reggae Boyz at the Unity Cup final.

“Tijani, Yusuf, the most important, we will miss two players because Victor Osimhen, he might have to change a club. I prefer for him to stay in his house because if you play, you are not one hundred percent,” he said.

“Lookman is very tired and Atletico asked us to let him. We will travel with 18 players and we will see what happens in Poland and Portugal,” Chelle added.

Despite the absence of two of Nigeria's biggest stars, Chelle remarked they will approach both matches with confidence and determination.

“We will definitely make a fight, if we win we win, if we lose we lose. But if we lose, they have to work on us, they have to beat us... These two games, Poland is a good team and Portugal is maybe the best team in the world. This is a great challenge for us and for sure I want to go to their own country to beat them.”

After their fantastic display at the Unity Cup, are you feeling confident ahead of the upcoming friendly matches? 👀
