Coach Gernot Rohr has already named his line up for the tie against Algeria.
The manager reportedly had one on one meeting with a total of 11 players who are expected to start the tie but some reports claim he spoke to 12 players, and will make up his mind on who to drop after consulting with his assistants.
We gathered he has maintained his 4-3-2-1 formation but has introduced Oghenekaro Etebo and Victor Moses, in place of Moses Simon and Brown Ideye from the team that defeated Zambia 2-1 in Ndola.
As earlier reported by Owngoalnigeria.com, Daniel Akpeyi will be in goal as replacement for first choice goalkepper Carl Ikeme who is out injured.
