The Nigeria Super Eagles are preparing for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, with head coach Eric Chelle expected to trim his 54-man provisional squad to a final 28-man selection.
The final squad will blend experienced internationals, returning players, and debutants, each competing to secure a place in the team ahead of the tournament’s December 21 opener.
Nigeria’s preparations have already been disrupted, with newly established star Benjamin Fredrick being ruled out due to injury, while captain William Troost-Ekong announced his retirement from international football shortly after the provisional squad was released.
Chelle now faces the task of replenishing key positions while maintaining squad balance.
