Super Eagles vs Tanzania: Pick Chelle’s starting XI in 5 minutes

The Super Eagles of Nigeria return to action tomorrow when they host Tanzania in a crucial 2027 AFCON qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

After losing 3-0 to Guinea-Bissau in their previous qualifier, the three-time African Champions need a convincing response to get their campaign back on track. Eric Chelle must find the right balance between defensive stability, midfield control and attacking intensity.

The Franco-Malian tactician named a 24-man squad for the double-header, but several selection decisions remain open. Victor Osimhen is unavailable after knee surgery, while Maduka Okoye, Frank Onyeka, Raphael Onyedika and Kelechi Iheanacho are notable omissions.

There are also opportunities for players like Tolu Arokodare, Moses Usor and Tochukwu Nnadi to make their case for starting places.
