AFCON 2021: Super Eagles Starting XI Vs Sudan
There were suggestions that Samuel Chukwueze will be dropped initially
Super Eagles coach Augustine Eguavoen has decided to stick with the same set of players that started the game against Egypt for Saturday's tie against Sudan.
There were suggestions that Samuel Chukwueze will be dropped initially but the Villarreal man has been impressive in training and Eguavoen has opted to give him another chance to deliver in Saturday’s game.
The backline is also unchanged with goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong, Kenneth Omeruo and Zaidu Sanusi all starting.
Joe Aribo and Wilfred Ndidi will be marshalling the middle of the park while Kelechi Iheanacho, Taiwo Awoniyi and Moses Simon go for goals upfront.
Nigeria with a win will seal their place in the second round of the competition
Starting XI vs Sudan : Okoye; Aina, Troost-Ekong, Omeruo, Sanusi; Ndidi, Aribo, Iheanacho; Chukwueze, Awoniyi, Simon
