Ajasa Receives Late Super Eagles Call-Up for Russia Match
Ibraheem Mahfus Ajasa, a midfielder for Rostov, has been called up by Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle for Nigeria's international friendly against Russia. This late invitation comes after Bright Osayi-Samuel, along with captain Wilfred Ndidi and Akpe Victory, withdrew from the squad.
To fill these gaps, Chelle has included John Otomewo and Vince Osuji as replacements. The confirmation of Ajasa's call-up was made by his club, Rostov, on its official website, wishing him good luck with the national team.
The Super Eagles have commenced preparations for the friendly match, which is scheduled to take place at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium on Tuesday.
