Lukeman starts in Nigeria, head coach: I can t line up the starter of the best player in Africa

Lukeman started in the World Cup qualifiers in Nigeria for 1-0 Rwanda, and Nigerian coach Éric Chelle talked about Lukeman's situation after the game.

He said: "Can we not write about the best player in Africa on the starting list? That's my duty. I can't imagine excluding Lukeman. I trust him and I am full of confidence in him."

After experiencing the summer window, Lukeman is still not in the first team lineup in Atlanta. Although he has not played in the club for a long time, the head coach of the Nigerian national team is not worried about this. He let Lukeman start against Rwanda and play for 75 minutes.
