Retired Russia international Stanislav Cherchesov has praised the Super Eagles as a quality opponent for Russia's upcoming international friendly on October 6. The match will take place at the 44,000-capacity Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, which previously hosted matches during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Cherchesov, now coaching Russian Premier League side FC Akhmat Grozny, acknowledged the experience within the Nigerian squad despite uncertainty over the team Eric Chelle will field for the friendly.
Chelle is expected to be without several regulars, including Bruno Onyemaechi, Calvin Bassey, Semi Ajayi, Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze, Ademola Lookman, and Victor Osimhen. The Super Eagles will arrive in Russia after their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Guinea-Bissau on September 29.
