Leaning forward, Terem Moffi will spearhead the Super Eagles’ attack in Thursday’s friendly against Portugal.

Leading marksman Victor Osimhen is ruled out of the game as a result of injury.

Moffi got the nod to lead the team’s attack in their last outing against the Desert Foxes of Algeria when Osimhen was also absent due to injury.

Only France international Kylian Mbappe (12 goals) and Brazil superstar Neymar (11 goals) have scored more goals than him in the French top flight.
