AFCON 2025: Osimhen, Simon to miss Super Eagles vs Egypt friendly

Victor Osimhen and Moses Simon have opted out of the Super Eagles international friendly against the Pharaohs of Egypt.

The pre-2025 Africa Cup of Nations friendly will hold at the Cairo International Stadium on Tuesday.

It will kick-off at 8pm Nigerian time.

The Super Eagles will fly to Morocco aboard a chartered aircraft after the clash with Egypt.

Osimhen and Simon will fly directly to Morocco from their respective bases to join their teammates, according to SCORENigeria.

Fresh call-ups like Pisa midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Blackburn Rovers fullback Ryan Alebiosu, Tochukwu Nnadi from Belgian club Zulte-Waregem and Croatia-based striker Salim Fago Lawal are expected to feature in the friendly.

It will be the Super Eagles only test game before AFCON 2025.
