Other players expected to miss the March international break include Gabriel Osho, Tyronne Ebuehi and Taiwo Awoniyi.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will lock horns with sworn rivals Ghana in Morocco before they take on Mali during this international break.
Nigeria recently finished second at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after defeat to Ivory Coast in the final on February 11, 2023.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has made an official announcement appointing Finidi George as the interim head coach of the national team, the Super Eagles, for the two crucial friendlies.
This appointment comes after the Super Eagles found themselves without a coach following the conclusion of Jose Peseiro’s contract on February 29.
With the need to fill the vacant coaching position, the NFF embarked on a search for a suitable candidate and ultimately entrusted Finidi George with the responsibility of leading the team in the interim period.
The appointment of Finidi George brings a wealth of experience to the Super Eagles, with the former Nigerian international boasting an illustrious playing career and coaching credentials.
As the team prepares to face Ghana’s Black Stars in their first friendly match, George’s leadership will be instrumental in guiding the Super Eagles to a positive result.
Ghana’s Black Stars have already commenced preparations for the upcoming encounter in Morocco, setting the stage for an exciting clash between the two West African footballing giants on Friday.
