New Eagle loading? Super Eagles hint at possible call-up for winger ahead of FIFA World Cup qualifiers

The Nigeria Super Eagles have fueled excitement among fans by hinting at potential call-ups for rising star Moses Usor and others following their impressive recent performances in Europe.

In their latest social media message celebrating Nigerian players excelling abroad, the Eagles highlighted the “Naija boys on fire away from home,” ahead of the decisive FIFA World Cup qualifiers next month.

As reported by Pulse Sports Nigeria, the team acknowledged the strong displays delivered by the quartet of Ola Aina, Christantus Uche, Gabriel Osho, and the lesser-known Usor over the weekend.

Usor, a winger, and Osho, a centre-back, are making waves in Austria and France, respectively, with commanding performances that have caught the eye of both fans and national team selectors.

The 23-year-old Usor was pivotal in LASK’s 2-1 win over Austria Wien, as posted by the club on Instagram, scoring one goal and assisting another, while maintaining a perfect tackle record.

Osho helped Auxerre secure a 1-0 victory against Lorient with solid defensive work and a 90% pass completion rate.

These standout displays and the timing of the post hint that the Super Eagles coaching staff, led by Eric Chelle, may be preparing to integrate the players, especially Usor, into future national team squads.

Nigeria’s Super Eagles return early next month for a decisive double-header in the World Cup qualifiers, with games against Rwanda and South Africa.

The Eagles currently sit fourth in Group B and are in danger of missing out on the 2026 tournament after watching the last edition from home. With six points separating them and leaders South Africa, Chelle knows this is the time to turn things around.

With a growing pool of talented players abroad, the Franco-Malian, set to touch down in Nigeria after a terrible outing at CHAN 2024, looks ready to try new star in his bid to strengthen the team’s ranks ahead of the important upcoming fixtures.

The Super Eagles’ latest post, praising these stars for their club performances, could be a subtle hint that Usor and Osho’s impressive form may soon earn them a coveted spot in the national team lineup.

Nigerian fans are keenly awaiting confirmation, hopeful that this young talent will soon don the green and white jersey at the senior level.
