Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Austine Eguavoen will make six changes to the Super Eagles of Nigeria team that will prosecute the last group game against Guinea Bissau, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Eguavoen will hand rest to goalkepper Maduka Okoye with Francis Uzoho set to start in goal. Also Kenneth Omeruo will be given a rest with Semi Ajayi set to play alongside William Troost Ekong in central defence.
Tyrone Ebuehi and Jamilu Collins will take the place of Ola Aina and Zaidu Sanusi respectively with Kelechi Nwakali coming in for Joe Aribo to pair Wilfred Ndidi in the midfield. Kelechi Iheanacho keeps his spot behind the main striker.
In attack, the duo of Alex Iwobi and Chidera Ejuke will play on either flanks leaving Peter Olayinka as the top striker in the game which is of no consequence to Nigeria as they are already winners of their group.
Starting XI: Uzoho – Ebuehi, Ekong, Semi, Collins – Ndidi, Nwakali, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Ejuke & Olayinka
