Ajasa Joins Super Eagles for Russia Friendly Match

Ibraheem Mahfus Ajasa, a midfielder for Rostov, has been called up to the Super Eagles by head coach Eric Chelle to participate in an international friendly match against Russia. This call-up comes as a replacement for Bright Osayi-Samuel, who is one of three players that have withdrawn from the squad ahead of the match scheduled for Tuesday.

Ajasa is already in training with the team. Other players who have also pulled out include Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi and Akpe Victory.

In response, John Otomewo and Vince Osuji have been added to the squad as replacements. Rostov confirmed Ajasa's invitation through their official website, wishing him good luck as he joins the national team.

The friendly match is set to take place at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.
