Super Eagles coach José Peseiro has revealed the line-up for the anticipated clash against South Africa, and there’s a notable absence in the form of Zaidu Sanusi.
Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has retained his spot, instilling confidence in the defensive end. The backline showcases a solid defensive trio with Calvin Bassey, Semi Ajayi, and William Troost-Ekong.
However, due to an injury, Sanusi is absent, prompting a strategic move by shifting Ola Aina to the left wing-back position.
Fernabache’s Bright Osayi-Samuel steps into the right wing-back position, adding a fresh dynamic to the line-up. The midfield maintains its stability, with Alex Iwobi and Frank Onyeka holding their positions.
The attacking front features Moses Simon, Ademola Lookman, and Victor Osimhen, replicating their starting roles against Angola.
Confirmed Line-Up:
Goalkeeper: Stanley Nwabali
Defenders: Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina
Midfielders: Alex Iwobi, Frank Onyeka
Forwards: Moses Simon, Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen
