S/Leone vs Nigeria: Napoli icon Osimhen missing as 19 Super Eagles train in Lagos
The Nigeria Super Eagles opened camp for the crucial AFCON qualifier against Sierra Leone with Serie A top scorer and Napoli icon Victor Osimhen missing.
Awoniyi had a heroic end to the season, as his goals effectively kept the Tricky Trees in the Premier League.
His fellow striker Victor Osimhen clinched the Scudetto and Capocannoniere, and Samuel Chukwueze won the LALIGA African Player of the Season, among others.
The former Hertha Berlin striker hailed his teammates for how well they have done in club football and believes that should they carry that form across, no nation can beat Nigeria.

Adebayo Adeleye spoke to Pulse Sports Nigeria during the Super Eagles' first training session ahead of the clash against Sierra Leone.
“This is a game [against Sierra Leone] that is very important to the country because you have to play it once, it’s not a league game where you have an opportunity to play again,” Awoniyi said.
“That is how I see every Super Eagles game, and that’s the kind of spirit I will take to the game if I get to Liberia.
“This is a game that you have to put in your best because you only have 90 minutes to play. Perhaps, the next time you play again in September or thereabout.
