Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle will be breathing a sigh of relief after two of his key players returned to action over the weekend, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Winger Samuel Chukwueze and midfielder Raphael Onyedika both featured for their clubs on Saturday, easing concerns over their fitness.
Chukwueze played 13 minutes for Fulham in their 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, having missed the previous three games with a calf injury.

Onyedika, meanwhile, played 64 minutes for Club Brugge in their 2-1 win over Dender, having been out with a hamstring injury.
The duo's return is a boost for Nigeria ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs, with Chelle likely to include them in the squad for the matches starting November 13.
