Nigeria’s preparations for the crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Rwanda have officially begun, but concerns are mounting over the team’s readiness and squad selection.
Four key players Victor Osimhen, Bruno Onyemaechi, Papa Daniel Mustapha, and Kayode Bankole—were the first to land in Kigali, signaling the start of the Super Eagles’ buildup for Friday’s must-win clash. A video shared on the team’s official X handle on Monday, March 17, captured their arrival at Kigali International Airport,where they were greeted by head coach Eric Chelle and team staff.
However, questions remain over the full squad list, with several expected names yet to report for camp. Fans and analysts have raised concerns about whether the delayed arrivals could disrupt the team’s chemistry ahead of a match that could make or break their qualification hopes.
The Super Eagles captioned the video: Early arrival of Super Eagles officials and four players – Victor Osimhen, Bruno Onyemaechi, Papa Daniel Mustapha…but the silence over other key players has only fueled speculation about potential last-minute withdrawals or fitness concerns.
