Onyeka, who has consistently featured for the Super Eagles, was left out of the 23-man list selected by Nigeria’s head coach, Eric Chelle, despite initially being named in the provisional squad.

The former FC Midtjylland midfielder has been a key player for Augsburg throughout the current season, contributing regularly in Germany’s Bundesliga.

Thorup, speaking to Oma Sports, shared his disbelief over the omission, emphasizing Onyeka’s impressive form and his expectations of seeing the midfielder not just included, but also starting in the lineup.

“Frank has had an outstanding season in one of Europe’s top leagues,” Thorup said. “I was genuinely surprised he wasn’t called up. I actually expected him to make the starting eleven.”

Despite the snub, Thorup remains optimistic that Onyeka will be recalled for future Super Eagles assignments.
