Lawal Urges Coach Chelle to Blood Young Talent Ahead of AFCON 2027
Former Super Eagles midfielder Garba Lawal has urged head coach Eric Chelle to prioritise integrating fresh players into the national squad as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria will contest the Unity Cup in London this May against Zimbabwe, India and Jamaica, before facing Poland and Portugal in June. Lawal says these friendlies offer the perfect platform to test emerging talents and begin phasing out ageing figures. Speaking on Brila FM, Lawal emphasised that building a balanced squad now will ensure the Eagles enter AFCON qualifiers with both youth and experience.
