Lookman and Chukwueze had a disappointing game in the Super Eagles' embarrassing loss to Guinea-Bissau.
Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro is expected to make a few changes to the side that suffered a defeat against Guinea-Bissau on Friday.
Nigeria suffered an embarrassing 1-0 loss at home to the Wild Dogs in the first of their doubleheader clash against the home opponent.
Mama Samba Balde’s fine finish in the first half was enough to hand Guinea-Bissau a shock victory at the Moshood Abiola Stadium.
The good news for Nigeria, however, is that they have a chance to take revenge, as they take on the same opponent in the reverse fixture on March 27 at Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro.

Should Akpoguma fail to recover from the injury, Semi Ajayi should come in to replace the Hoffenheim centre-back.
Bright Osayi-Samuel was the only positive for Nigeria, so he should stay at right-back. Zaidu Sanusi should also keep his position on the left.
Peseiro played a two-man midfield on Friday, and which should stay the same, with Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi.
