Lookman and Victor Osimhen are two of Ghana’s main absences from the Unity Cup match.
The match between Ghana and Nigeria for the Unity Cup has grown some anticipation. Nigeria has officially dropped their full list of the squad to face the Black Stars, with some key players missing.
From the list published by the Nigeria Football Federation, both Osimhen and Lookman will not be part of the team, but there have been some additions to their squad.
Felix Agu, a defender, will only be there for training and is not anticipated to play in any games.
Their exclusion gives homegrown talents and marginal players an opportunity to make an impression before the next international qualifiers.
The G-Tech Community Stadium, home of Brentford FC, will host the Unity Cup from May 28 to May 31.
In addition to serving as a competitive warm-up, the event will feature competition from Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Ghana, and Nigeria. On May 28, Ghana will play Nigeria.
Senior midfielders Frank Onyeka and Wilfred Ndidi have been called up, and the attack is spearheaded by Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon, and Kelechi Iheanacho.
Rising stars such as Nathan Tella and Cyriel Dessers feature, alongside Nigeria Premier League players Amas Obasogie and Junior Nduka.
Ghana’s squad is expected to be named by Otto Addo next week.
