Kelechi Iheanacho has been left out of the latest Super Eagles squad named by coach Chelle, according to Sports247 Nigeria. The exclusion comes even as the attacker continues his scoring run in Turkish football with Bursaspor.
The choice to omit the forward is among the main talking points following the release of the national team roster. Iheanacho has been enjoying productive form in front of goal in Turkey, but the technical staff opted to move in a different direction for the upcoming international window.
Meanwhile, fellow Super Eagles forward Moses Usor has expressed satisfaction with his recent performance in Austria. Usor was on target for his club side, LASK, and shared his excitement following the fixture.
The forward spoke positively about finding the back of the net, describing the strike as "a good goal from me" after the match, as reported by AllNigeriaSoccer. Usor remains an active option in the attacking department across European leagues.
The national team selection decisions highlight the ongoing competition for attacking spots in the Super Eagles setup, with foreign-based Nigerian players aiming to impress ahead of international matches.
