Poland midfielder predicts tough match against Super Eagles despite missing stars

Poland midfielder Nicola Zalewski expects a 'good match' when his side faces Nigeria in an international friendly Wednesday night. Despite learning that Nigeria will be without Atletico Madrid's Ademola Lookman and Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen, Zalewski called Nigeria 'a very, very good team, strong physically, and very, very fast.' Nigeria coach Eric Chelle had already confirmed both stars won't feature in the friendly. The match takes place just days before Nigeria faces Portugal in another friendly. Poland views this as preparation for future competitions, while Nigeria uses it to test squad depth without their star attackers.
