With Eric Chelle taking charge of the Super Eagles, squad selections and tactical setups are expected to evolve as he introduces fresh talent while maintaining a competitive core. Based on the current squad list and new players Chelle is considering, Nigeria's possible lineup for upcoming matches could feature a mix of experience and youth.
In goal, Francis Uzoho (1) remains a likely starter, with Olorunleke Ojo (16) and Nwabali (23) providing competition. The defensive line could consist of Ola Aina (2), Kenneth Omeruo (22), and William Troost-Ekong (5), while new prospects like Southampton's Victor Udoh and Rennes' Kazeem Olaigbe might get opportunities under Chelle.
The midfield could be anchored by Frank Onyeka (8) and Alex Iwobi (17), supported by emerging talents like Ebenezer Akinsanmiro (Inter Milan) and Samuel Edozie (Anderlecht). Joe Aribo (10) adds attacking depth, while Tino Anjorin (Empoli) might be an option if he secures international clearance.
In attack, Victor Osimhen (9) remains the focal point, with Kelechi Iheanacho (14), Samuel Chukwueze (11), and Ademola Lookman (18) supporting. Victor Boniface (24) and George Ilenikhena (Monaco) could also feature under Chelle's new system.
With potential call-ups and tactical adjustments, the Super Eagles are expected to undergo key changes under their new coach.
