Veteran forward Ahmed Musa has made a surprise return to the Super Eagles squad as head coach Eric Chelle named his 26-man list for the 2025 Unity Cup tournament in London.
Musa, who last featured in January 2024, also resumes his role as team captain. His inclusion headlines a squad packed with home-based talents and fringe players, as top Europe-based stars like Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, Ademola Lookman, Calvin Bassey, and Alex Iwobi are being rested ahead of June’s World Cup qualifiers.
According to reports, Werder Bremen's Felix Agu has joined the camp strictly for training purposes due to incomplete documentation and will not feature in any match.
