Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro insists he has capable replacements for Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho ahead of his side’s friendly against the Mambas of Mozambique.
Osimhen and Iheanacho are not available for selection after featuring in last Friday’s 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia.
Napoli striker Osimhen sustained an injury in the game and has returned to Italy for medical attention.
Iheanacho, who scored Nigeria’s second goal against the Green Falcons has left camp to attend to personal matters.

Monday’s meeting will be the fifth-ever clash between both Nigeria and Mozambique at senior level.
