Ahead of today’s game between the senior national team of Nigeria and their counterparts from Ghana, the Nigerian team had their final training session yesterday.
Details of the session which was held at close doors is still sketchy but OwnGoalNigeria.com understand that as many as four changes will likely be made to the starting lineup of the Nigerian team.
Two players who started the game against Ghana on Friday have been ruled out of this game, we however gathered there is a chance that Innocent Bonke will be fit for the game after successfully coming through yesterday’s session. Samuel Chukwueze didn’t take part at all.
Aside the duo, their is a decision to be made on Kelechi Iheanacho who was unimpressive against Ghana in the 0-0 draw but lasted the entire duration of the game. He will likely be dropped for a midfield three consisting of Oghenekaro Etebo, Frank Onyeka and Joe Aribo.
Aribo will play in his preferred role which will be just behind the main striker which in this case will be Victor Osimhen. Ahmed Musa for now is the leading option to take the spot of Samuel Chukwueze on the right.
Moses Simon and the rest of the back four will likely keep their spot per what we gathered although Zaidu Sanusi is facing stiff competition from Calvin Bassey. Emmanuel Dennis is also pushing for a starting spot.
