An idea of how the Super Eagles of Nigeria will likely line up against Benin Republic in tomorrow’s AFCON 2022 qualifiers have been provided by coach of the team Gernot Rohr.
This hint was dropped by the coach in yesterday’s training session which was their last in Nigeria before their departure for Benin Republic this morning.
During the course of the training session, Rohr had the players take on themselves in a practice match which ended in a 2-1 win for the team that looks likely to start tomorrow’s game.
The coach had Alex Iwobi playing from the left with Samuel Chukwueze on the right while Joe Aribo and Wilfred Ndidi were handed the task of anchoring the midfield. Kelechi Iheanacho will play just behind the main striker in Victor Osimhen.
In defence, the coach played a back four of Leon Balogun, William Troost Ekong, Zaidu Sanusi and Ola Aina with Maduka Okoye In goal for the team in Rohr’s favourite 4-3-2-1 formation.
