Super Eagles interim head coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has defended his decision to include the out-of-form Kelechi Iheanacho in the squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Libya. Eguavoen believes that Iheanacho’s experience and potential can make a significant impact despite his current form.

Explaining his decision, Eguavoen stated, “I decided to include Kelechi Iheanacho of Seville when it became clear Victor Osimhen would not be fit in time. I considered both Cyriel Dessers and Tolu Arokodare, but opted for Kelechi because he is the more experienced striker.”
