Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr will make as many as three changes to the Super Eagles starting lineup for the game against Guinea, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
From the starting lineup for the game against Burundi, which the team won 1-0 Rohr will add Chidozie Awaziem to the defence line following his impressive showing after coming on for Shehu Abdullahi, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
In the midfield, the biggest casualty will be captain of the team John Obi Mikel who will likely drop to the bench with Ahmed Musa taking his place in the starting lineup although the trio of Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo will play as the midfield three.
In attack, Paul Onuachu will make way for match winner against Burundi Odion Ighalo for the game against Guinea and he is expected to lead the line alongside Musa with the Eagles set to attack from the get go.
Already the team have been training with this lineup in the last two sessions and it looks the most likely the same team that will start the game against Guinea on Wednesday.
