Legit.ng however list four players who failed to show up for the Super Eagles despite their impressive forms for their various clubs in Europe in the recently concluded season.

Apart from Ahmed Musa, all other players mentioned in this list had a superb season with their clubs but failed to show up for the national team in both friendly games against Cameroon.

Paul Onuachu:

The Genk forward recently won multiple awards in Belgium after scoring over 30 goals in all competitions but he failed to replicate his club performance for the national team on both games against the Indomitable Lions.

Ahmed Musa

It is obvious the captain is still match rusty as the former Premier League forward was unable to make any impact during his 45 minutes stay on the pitch.

The attacker recently joined Kano Pillars since he failed to seal a move back to Europe during the January transfer window and that is possibly affecting his display for the national team.

Kelechi Iheanacho:

The 24-year-old had a superb season with Leicester City - firing them to FA Cup glory and also securing a spot for the team in the Europa League ahead of Arsenal next season.

But his display was nothing compared to what he was able to achieve in Europe as he could not even manage a shot on target.

Terem Moffi

The French-based forward had a chance to make a case for himself but he failed to do so after wasting the most glaring chance the team had all through the game.

However, none of the players could be pointed out for having an amazing game as they were all average against the Indomitable Lions.
