Super Eagles coach Éric Chelle has named two changes to the squad for Nigeria’s upcoming friendly against Russia.
Midfielder John Otomewo and defender Vince Osuji have been brought into the squad as replacements for captain Wilfred Ndidi and Akpe Victory, who are both unavailable for the encounter.
Otomewo recently joined French Ligue 2 club Stade de Reims from Israeli Premier League side Hapoel Jerusalem.
Osuji currently plies his trade with Norwegian club Tromsø.
Both players will be looking to earn their first appearances for the Super Eagles when Nigeria face Russia at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium next Tuesday.
Nigeria and Russia last met in June 2025, with the two sides sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
