Maja, Bonaventure, Okoye and Aribo must seize Super Eagles chance - Lawal

Former Nigeria international Garba Lawal has charged Josh Maja, Maduka Okoye, Dennis Bonaventure and Joe Aribo to seize their Super Eagles chance against Ukraine on Tuesday.

The quintet will hope to make their debut appearances for the three-time African champions after they were handed their maiden call-ups by coach Gernot Rohr.

Bordeaux forward Maja and Club Brugge winger Bonaventure were late replacements for Henry Onyekuru and Ahmed Musa, who withdrew from the game due to injury and work permit issues.
