On loan Benfica defender Tyronne Ebuehi is set to start for Nigeria when they take on Algeria in an international friendly on Friday.
The defender who has been out of the team since 2018 due to an injury picked up while in pre season training with Benfica. The team he newly joined after his exploits for Nigeria at the World Cup.
This season he has regained his form at FC Twente where he is on loan and base on his performance in training with the Super Eagles, he looks sure to start in defence.
He has largely been involved with the team that will most likely start against Tunisia and even when the back four did a tactical drill he was the preferred choice at right back ahead of Ola Aina.
In his absence, Shehu Abdullahi and Chidozie Awaziem played in the position for Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with Aina deployed at left back.
