Victor Osimhen has made his return to the Super Eagles squad for the final two AFCON qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda. 
Osimhen missed the previous international break due to a muscle injury, but his inclusion marks a significant boost for the team. Additionally, Sadiq Umar has also rejoined the squad, bringing added strength to Nigeria's attacking options.
Nigeria currently leads Group L in the AFCON qualifiers with 8 points, ahead of Benin Republic, which has 7 points. Sierra Leone follows with 3 points, and Lesotho has 2 points. In their most recent match, Nigeria was granted a 3-0 victory against Libya after a protest regarding a mishandled match, strengthening their position at the top of the group.
The list of players for the November international break includes goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali, Maduka Okoye, and Amas Obasogie.
Defenders selected are William Ekong, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Bruno Onyemaechi, Gabriel Osho, Calvin Bassey, Olaoluwa Aina, and Victor Collins.
The midfield contingent consists of Wilfred Ndidi, Raphael Onyedika, Alhassan Yusuf Abdullahi, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Frank Onyeka, and Alex Iwobi.
Forwards called up are Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Kelechi Iheanacho, Victor Boniface, Moses Simon, and Sadiq Umar.
The Super Eagles are scheduled to face Benin Republic on November 14th in Abidjan, followed by a match against Rwanda on November 18th in Uyo.
