Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has made a huge decision in his starting lineup for today’s game against Rwanda by dropping Bruno Onyemaechi in his preferred 4-3-1-2 formation, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Bruno who was ever present all through the games of the AFCON qualifiers drops to the bench just like Club Brugge midfielder, Raphael Onyedika who has enjoyed a stellar season so far.
Like we exclusively reported earlier, the coach has settled for a two man attack of Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen flanked by the duo of Moses Simon and Samuel Chukwueze.
Wilfred Ndidi got the nod to start in midfield with Alex Iwobi, with a back four of William Troost-Ekong, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Ola Aina and Calvin Bassey.
Stanley Nwabali keeps his place in goal.
Starting XI: Nwabali, Osayi-Samuel, Aina, Ekong, Bassey, Ndidi, Iwobi, Chukwueze, Simon, Lookman, Osimhem.
