Azeez Replaces Chukwueze in Super Eagles Squad for Poland, Portugal Friendlies
Femi Azeez replaces Samuel Chukwueze in Nigeria's Super Eagles squad for upcoming friendlies against Poland and Portugal, according to DAILY POST. Chukwueze has been excused to attend his mother's funeral in Abia State this week. Azeez earned his selection after impressing on his Super Eagles debut with two goals in Nigeria's 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe. The three-time African champions face Jamaica in the Unity Cup final tonight (7:30pm Nigeria time) before traveling to Warsaw for the Poland friendly next Wednesday. Nigeria will then face Portugal in Lierra on June 10. Azeez gets another opportunity to impress as the Super Eagles prepare for future international competitions. Will Azeez's inclusion help Nigeria secure victories in these friendlies, especially after his impressive performance against Zimbabwe?
