AFCON qualifiers: Why Ademola Lookman failed to perform against Madagascar - Chelle

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle explained why Atletico Madrid star Ademola Lookman failed to make an impact in Nigeria's 2-1 win over Madagascar in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Chelle substituted him with Tolu Arokodare with twenty-one minutes remaining, noting that the team needed to utilize the flanks more effectively. Nigeria came from behind to secure the victory with debutants George Ilenikhena and Moses Usor scoring their first international goals.
