A hint on who will likely pair Victor Osimhen in attack when the senior national team of Nigeria take on Sao Tome and Principe in a dead rubber AFCON qualifiers has been made known by head of the coach Jose Peseiro, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

The team had their last training session today at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo in preparation for the game, which is more of a dress rehearsal with Nigeria already through to the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire next year.

Peseiro had the players up against themselves in a test game with the biggest puzzle about who will join Osimhen in the attack of the team in the coach’s favorite 4-4-2 system. Three players in Kelechi Iheanacho, Gift Orban and Taiwo Awoniyi are pushing for the chance with injury ruling Gift Orban out.

Per what we gathered from the close door session, Awoniyi appears to have won the race with Boniface likely to be introduced as a substitute. Iheanacho operated mainly in a midfield role in tandem with the duo of Joe Aribo and Wilfred Ndidi.
