“I’m happy with Victor Osimhen’s form and my strikers ahead of our qualifiers against the Central Africa Republic," Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr said.
“Samuel Kalu has also been good, he took his goal well against Montpelier as well as Terem Moffi.
“Wilfred Ndidi is out for a month with a hamstring injury. He will be missed for the games against Central African Republic, but we expect him to make a good return next month for the games against Liberia and Cape Verde.”
Meanwhile, CAR suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Liberia at home in their previous match which was a Group C game on September 06.
