Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal that coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr will likely drop Ola Aina from his starting lineup for the AFCON quarter final game against South Africa.
Base on the training session of the team, Rohr has picked Jamilu Collins in the team that contains most of the regular players ahead of Aina who has so far played in every game for Nigeria.
Aina could however shift to the right back position which is his preferred role but Rohr has been very impressed with the performance of Chidozie Awaziem who has filled in admirably well as cover since the injury to regular right back Shehu Abdullahi in the first game.
Another move made by the coach is the decision to hand a start to Samuel Chukwueze for the second time in this tournament ahead of Moses Simon who will be given a rest for the game.
For now the two changes appear to be the ones the coach will likely make to the team that started the 3-2 win over Cameroon in the round of 16.
