'Where is Cyriel Dessers?' - Super Eagles fans react to changes made to Nigeria's AFCON squad

The Nigeria Football Federation made changes to the Super Eagles 2021 Africa Cup of Nations squad on Friday, calling up a quartet of replacements for four unavailable players.

It is believed that Dessers did not get a look-in for the tournament in Cameroon because he was not included in Nigeria's 40-man provisional squad, whereas Olayinka, Ebuehi, Ajayi and Onyekuru cracked the list submitted by dismissed coach Gernot Rohr.

Some Super Eagles fans were disappointed to see Dennis withdraw from the squad and Osimhen drop out after testing positive for coronavirus, while a supporter thinks Rangers rising star Calvin Bassey is an upgrade for West Brom center back Semi Ajayi.

Here's how Super Eagles fans reacted after the Instagram announcement by the Nigeria Football Federation :

kayodepeters1 : "Dessers ignored again? What else can a striker do to justify himself ? . I guess he is not bribing his way . Goodluck Nigeria".

emmanuelomuetha_stable : "Where is Cyril desser pls invite HIM pls".

herr_tims : "And Osimhen is expected to play against Juventus but can’t make it to Afcon cos covid issue? Even Denis will still turn up for watford this coming games but can’t attend Afcon. NFF is indeed a joke."

teehay45 : "The NFF needs to explain to us why Dennis was not included."

dareigh : "What does "baring fangs" mean? This is an absolute joke..."

alexander_adetola : "What the point of watching if @victorosimhen9 @e_dennisblessed not going ??? NFF never fails to disappoint, two of the top 5 in Africa right now and you can’t even take one… due to corruption".

abzee1 : "Instead of calling up @cyrieldessers who's having a good season and scoring goals ?? u called onyekuru!!!well he is atalented player,but his performances this season is below average".

godspower.sunny : "Pls let leave this list like this am very happy because God really intervene for this successful player's ingnore in the first list. Henry, ebuehi, semi, I am happy. Even Guardiola don't have a strikers but he is using wingers to win games. Now we have two pacing winger, Chukwueze and Henry, watchout for this two guys".

kubo_athlete : "It is really a huge Disappointment For Watford not to allow Emmanuel Dennis participate in the Afcon for his Country the NFF communications department needs to do better".
