    • Samuel Chukwueze, the AC Milan winger, is set to make his 10th Champions League appearance as Milan takes on Newcastle United in Group F. Milan aims to bounce back after a 5-1 defeat to Inter Milan in the derby. Chukwueze is expected to replace Christian Pulisic on the right flank.
    • Al-Hassan Yusuf and Chidera Ejuke will make their Champions League debuts with Antwerp, facing Barcelona in Group H in Spain. Antwerp is participating in the group stage for the first time in their history, adding significance to the match.
    • Zaidu Sanusi is preparing for his 25th Champions League appearance with FC Porto as they face Shakhtar Donetsk in Group H in Hamburg, Germany. Both teams lead their respective domestic divisions this season.

    These Nigerian players add excitement to the UEFA Champions League, and fans will be watching closely as they represent their clubs on the European stage.
