Eric Chelle's Super Eagles took a hit before kickoff. Victor Osimhen is ruled out with a muscle strain picked up at Galatasaray. Captain Wilfred Ndidi, Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi still headline the squad, while Madagascar hand debuts to goalkeeper Zacharie Boucher and striker Roman Ferber as the Barea chase a first AFCON finals return in years.
