AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoAFCON 2027 Qualifiers (Nigeria–Guinea-Bissau): Nigeria’s Super Eagles have confirmed Victor Osimhen will miss the 2027 AFCON qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau after a right adductor muscle strain kept him out longer than expected, despite earlier hopes he’d recover in time. Squad & preparation: Coach Éric Chelle named Osimhen in the initial squad, but Galatasaray later indicated he’s still under treatment, leading to his exemption; Ademola Lookman meanwhile urged a strong start, saying Nigeria are determined to win both the home opener in Uyo (Madagascar) and the trip to Bissau (Djurtus). Club-to-country tension: Galatasaray asked the Nigeria Football Federation to rest Osimhen for the qualifiers, but the request was rejected, leaving fitness as the key issue. New faces: Chelle also expanded options with first senior call-ups for players including Isaac James and George Ilenikhena as Nigeria build for the double-header. ECOWAS Court & media: The ECOWAS Court urged regional journalists to push member states to implement its rulings, highlighting enforcement gaps.
