Onyxnewsng reports that the Super Eagles of Nigeria are ready to start their quest for a fourth continental crown as the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) starts in Cameroon on Sunday.

But the three-time African champions will be without the services of talismanic striker, Victor Osimhen, and a handful of players for the AFCON.
The country’s top scorer during the qualification games for the championship was excused from the tournament on health grounds.
He was not the only one left out of the squad.
Compatriot, Dennis Emmanuel of Watford, and former Manchester United forward, Odion Ighalo, were also replaced days after the list of invited players was released.
Despite this, hopes are high among some fans that the Super Eagles will make an impact in the competition.
They will begin their campaign against seven-time champions, Egypt, on Tuesday.
