2026 WCQ: Oliseh Advises Against Starting Troost-Ekong
Former Nigerian international Sunday Oliseh has advised Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle not to start William Troost-Ekong against Gabon in the playoffs of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria sealed their playoff place after a 4–0 win over Benin in Uyo, while Gabon finished second in Group F.
Victory over Gabon would set up a potential final against either Cameroon or the Democratic Republic of Congo, with the winner advancing to the intercontinental playoffs in Mexico in March 2026.
Oliseh warned the Super Eagles handler to maintain the back four that played against Benin.
