Chelle rules out Osimhen, Lookman from Portugal friendlies

Super Eagles head coach, Éric Chelle has confirmed that Victor Osimhen, and Ademola Lookman won’t feature in his side’s upcoming friendlies against Poland and Portugal, DAILY POST reports.

The Super Eagles will be up against Poland in Warsaw on Wednesday, while they will travel to Lieira to face former European champions, Portugal on Wednesday, 10 June.

Osimhen, and Lookman were included in the squad for both games by Chelle two weeks ago.

Chelle revealed that Atletico Madrid asked for Lookman to be excused from the game, while Osimhen has to sort out his future with Galatasaray.

“We miss two players because Victor Osimhen maybe he is about to change club so I prefer he stays at home because if he plays and is not at 100 percent is not good,” the Malian told the Super Eagles media.

“For Lookman he is very tired and Atletico ask us to excuse him.”

The Super Eagles won the Unity Cup in London on Saturday after a comfortable 3-0 victory over the Reggae Boyz of Jamaica in the final.
