Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro claimed his squad is still strong enough to challenge for the title at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations despite injury to some of his key stars.
Wilfred Ndidi, Victor Boniface and Umar Sadiq will also miss out of the party in Cote d’Ivoire.
Peseiro stated that the replacements, Alhassan Yusuf, Terem Moffi and Paul Onuachu have the same quality with the trio.
“It’s unfortunate that those players can’t be here with us, they all want to play but they can’t because of injury, Peseiro told a press conference in Abidjan on Saturday.
“The good thing is that we have the players to replace them.
“It’s not much of a problem for us because we have picked players with the same profile. READ ALSO:

“Onuachu is similar to Sadiq, Moffi and Boniface are not different, same thing with Ndidi and Alhassan.
“These players have different characters, but in terms of profiles they are not different.”
