NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Forward Olakunle Olusegun is yet to receive his entry visa to South Africa and may be ruled out of the Super Eagles’ 2026 World Cup qualifier against Lesotho on Friday.

Olusegun is among the 23 players invited by head coach Eric Chelle for Nigeria’s double-header against Lesotho and Benin Republic.

With the delay, the Super Eagles may be forced to face Lesotho with just 21 available players for the crucial encounter.

Werder Bremen defender Felix Agu has withdrawn from the squad after suffering a hamstring injury, with head coach Eric Chelle choosing not to call up a replacement.

If Olakunle Olusegun fails to obtain his South African entry visa, he will instead travel to Uyo to join preparations for the Benin Republic game.

The Super Eagles will face Lesotho on Friday at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, before hosting Benin Republic next Tuesday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.
