LOOKMAN AND AKOR ADAMS SET TO LEAD NIGERIA’S ATTACK AGAINST TANZANIA

Ademola Lookman and Akor Adams are expected to lead the Super Eagles’ attack against Tanzania in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

With Victor Osimhen sidelined by a knee injury, the pair will carry Nigeria’s attacking hopes as Éric Chelle’s side seek an important victory.

Stanley Nwabali is listed in goal, with Calvin Bassey, Benjamin Fredrick and Ola Aina among the defensive options. Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Alhassan Yusuf also feature in the reported selection.
