Coach Eric Chelle is missing some of his big guns like Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Wilfred Ndidi, and Alex Iwobi. But he has named a strong starting eleven for this clash, with Arthur Okonkwo getting his debut for Nigeria.
Terem Moffi is the captain of the side, and he will be looking to provide leadership from the front.
