Everton striker Victor Anichebe and Chelsea midfielder Mikel Jon Obi have both been confirmed injured for Nigeria's friendly against Australia.
Captain Nwankwo Kanu, John Utaka and Joseph Yobo have also withdrawn from the squad with injury.
Super Eagles' coach Berti Vogts is still feeling upbeat ahead of tomorrow's game in Fulham, London.
"We have many other good players to fill in; Makinwa, Ishiaku and don't forget Obafemi Martins, he's not bad.
"I spoke to all of the injured players and it is just not worth injecting them with painkillers for a friendly game.
"What is important is that all the best players are fully fit for January, and I fully believe they will be," Vogts tznews Sport.
