Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has released a revised squad ahead of Nigeria's international friendly match against Russia scheduled for Friday, June 6, at the 78,000-capacity Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

The Nigerian team, which arrived in Moscow on Monday, has been forced to undergo significant changes due to injuries and withdrawals from the initially selected players. Training sessions are set to commence on Tuesday as the team prepares for the high-profile friendly.

The revised 19-man squad features a mix of established internationals and emerging talents, with players drawn from clubs across Europe, Saudi Arabia, and the Nigerian domestic league.

Full Squad List

Goalkeepers: Maduka Okoye (Udinese FC, Italy) and Amas Obasogie (Singida Blackstars, Tanzania).

Defenders: Bright Osayi-Samuel (Fenerbahce SK, Turkey), Bruno Onyemaechi (Olympiacos FC, Greece), Oluwasemilogo Ajayi (West Bromwich Albion, England), Igoh Ogbu (SK Slavia Prague, Czech Republic), William Troost-Ekong (Al-Kholood FC, Saudi Arabia), Sodiq Ismaila (Remo Stars), and Benjamin Fredericks (Brentford FC, England).

Midfielders: Saviour Isaac (Enugu Rangers), Raphael Onyedika (Club Brugge, Belgium), Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (Lazio FC, Italy), Chrisantus Uche (Getafe CF, Spain), Frank Onyeka (Augsburg FC, Germany), and Papa Daniel Mustapha (Niger Tornadoes).

Forwards: Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen, Germany), Simon Moses (FC Nantes, France), Tolu Arokodare (KRC Genk, Belgium), and Olakunle Olusegun (Krasnodar FC, Russia).

Notably, Olakunle Olusegun, who plays his club football in Russia with Krasnodar FC, has earned a late invitation to join the squad, potentially offering valuable local knowledge for the friendly encounter.

The match against Russia represents an important test for Chelle's side as they continue their development under his leadership. Russian goalkeeper Agkatsev has reportedly expressed readiness to face what he described as a "strong team" in the Super Eagles.

This friendly comes after Nigeria's recent success in the Unity Cup, which was praised by Nigeria Football Federation President Ibrahim Gusau.
