Osimhen and Lookman Set for Champions League Matches
The UEFA Champions League group stage resumes on October 13, featuring several Nigerian players. Victor Osimhen, who plays for Galatasaray, is expected to return to full action at Rams Park in Istanbul after recovering from a month-long injury.
Lookman, representing Atletico Madrid, has faced challenges recently and will look to prove himself in the upcoming match. Zaidu Sanusi, a full-back, is not participating as he is working on regaining fitness after an extended absence.
Usor, who scored the winning goal for Nigeria against Madagascar, will compete against Liverpool after his team lost their opening match to AEK Athens. He plays for Azerbaijani club Nwachukwu, which qualified for the Champions League for the first time.
The article also mentions that Nwachukwu's uncapped Nigerian star played in a loss to Manchester United and is expected to feature against Dortmund.
