Super
Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has decided on the eleven players that will take to
the FNB Stadium pitch from the very first minute in Saturday afternoon's Africa
Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa, based on the team's last workout
on Friday afternoon.
Barring a
last-minute change in plans, Enyimba goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa has been
handed the goalkeeping duties ahead of South African-based Daniel Akpeyi.
Chelsea
loanee Kenneth Omeruo played alongside William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun in
defense in the last workout and Rohr intends to stick to those three as well as
Jamilu Collins.
John Ogu
will replace the suspended Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro
Etebo will take up the second holding midfield role while Alex Iwobi will
continue in his favored position as a playmaker in the absence of Obi Mikel.
Rohr went
for continuity in the selection of his strike-force, with Ahmed Musa and
Kelechi Iheanacho tipped to start in attack.
Bordeaux
number ten Samuel Kalu is expected to be included in the starting line-up ahead
of Moses Simon, Henry Onyekuru and Samuel Chukwueze
Team A
Line-Up Final Training : Ezenwa, Omeruo, Balogun, Troost-Ekong, Collins, Ogu,
