Top scorers: Nigerians in Europe 2026/27
Bursaspor play in Turkey's second tier, which our data source does not cover, so Iheanacho's 17 goals come from Nigerian and Turkish press reports. His games, starts and minutes are blank in the table, and his three assists are counted up to 25 October.
Osimhen has not played since the 2-0 Champions League win over VfB Stuttgart on 3 November. Sportmonks lists a knee injury from 4 November with an estimated return on 25 November, and Galatasaray beat Amed 4-3 on 7 November without him. Orban scored for Amed that day. Dessers took his tally to 10 at Iraklis on 8 November. Philip Otele scored in Basel's 3-3 draw at Thun on the same day, and Moses Usor scored during a 29-minute substitute appearance at Ried on 7 November, four days after an assist in the Champions League against Slovan Bratislava.

Injuries and players short of minutes
Four men have still not played a minute of club football this season: Igoh Ogbu, Felix Agu, Christantus Uche and Benjamin Fredrick. Ogbu (Achilles surgery in June) was missing from Slavia Praha's squads on 4 and 8 November, Agu (calf injury since August) from Werder Bremen's on 7 November and Uche (cruciate ligament injury) from Getafe's on 8 November. Fredrick was not in Brentford's squad at Brighton & Hove Albion on 8 November. Samuel Chukwueze, who has played this season, has been out of AC Milan's squads since a thigh muscle strain that Sportmonks lists from 21 October.
Arthur Okonkwo, who had started all 12 of Charlton Athletic's games, was an unused substitute on 3 and 7 November. Kevin Akpoguma was an unused substitute for Frosinone on 7 November and has no Serie A minutes this season. Victor Boniface was an unused substitute against FC Köln on 8 November, and Nathan Tella was not in Bayer 04 Leverkusen's squad on 5 or 8 November. Ola Aina was not in Nottingham Forest's squad for the 3-1 win over Manchester City on 7 November, nor Frank Onyeka in Coventry City's for the defeat at Everton the day before.
Others are playing more. Zaidu Sanusi had 113 minutes for FC Porto this week, 23 against Napoli in the Champions League and 90 at Vitória Guimarães, and Chibuike Nwaiwu played every minute of Trabzonspor's two games.
As of Monday 9 November we have found no Super Eagles squad list for the games against Tanzania, the first in Uyo on 13 November. Nobody has been added to this page or removed from it, and nobody has left Europe.
Super Falcons in Europe
Rasheedat Ajibade is the Falcons' top scorer in Europe with four goals for Paris Saint-Germain, but she has not played since 4 October and was not in the squad for the club's games on 1 and 6 November. Jennifer Echegini made her first substitute appearance of the season on 6 November, 45 minutes against Le Havre after 10 starts. Chiamaka Nnadozie has started all 10 games for Brighton's women and played the full 90 at Tottenham Hotspur on 8 November, and Rofiat Imuran had 12 minutes off the bench against Manchester United that day.
Our data source does not cover the Italian, Portuguese or Swedish women's leagues, so the lines for Toni Payne, Shukurat Oladipo, Rinsola Babajide, Osinachi Ohale, Blessing Demehin and Halimatu Ayinde are as of 19 October.

How we count
Figures cover the 2026/27 club season in all competitions: league, domestic cups and European qualifying and group games.
