Super Eagles caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen has defended some of his controversial call-ups to the Super Eagles.
Eguavoen was criticised for inviting the duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Umar Sadiq for the Super Eagles 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
Iheanacho and Sadiq have struggled for regular playing time at their respective clubs this season.
The likes of Cyriel Dessers, Tolu Arokodare and Josh Maja, who have been in good form in Europe, have been consistently overlooked by the gaffer.
Eguavoen claimed it is difficult to bring in new players into the team with the limited time they have to prepare for matches.
