Predicted Super Eagles XI Without Osimhen and Bassey Against Iran

Nigeria face Iran in a high-profile friendly at Antalya Stadium. The Super Eagles will be without Victor Osimhen, Calvin Bassey and a few other key players due to injury and fitness issues. Under coach Eric Chelle, Nigeria boast a six-match unbeaten run and a third-place finish at the last Africa Cup of Nations. Captaincy duties could fall on Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi, while newcomers Yira Sor and Philip Otele may earn their first caps. Here is our likely starting lineup: Goalkeeper: Maduka Okoye Defenders: Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Igoh Ogbu, Bruno Onyemaechi Midfielders: Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Frank Onyeka Forwards: Akor Adams, Paul Onuachu, Ademola Lookman This match will test Nigeria’s direction as they rebuild, while Iran tune up for the World Cup under challenging conditions.
