Nigeria’s Super Eagles will make a defensive adjustment ahead of their AFCON 2025 match against Egypt, with Ogbu set to replace suspended Calvin Bassey. The change comes after Bassey picked up a suspension, ruling him out of the crucial group-stage encounter.
The coaching crew has expressed confidence in Ogbu’s ability to step in and deliver a solid performance. Known for his composure and strength at the back, Ogbu is expected to partner the rest of the defence to contain Egypt’s attacking threats.
With the Egypt match seen as a key test in Nigeria’s AFCON 2025 campaign, the Super Eagles will be hoping the defensive reshuffle does not disrupt team balance. The players are focused on maintaining discipline and teamwork as they chase a positive result.
Fans and analysts believe the game will be tough, but Nigeria’s depth could prove decisive. Ogbu’s inclusion offers him a chance to prove his quality on a big stage while helping the Super Eagles push for victory against one of Africa’s strongest teams.
