Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle will likely make two changes to the team that started the 1-0 win over Rwanda in Uyo on Saturday, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The coach who started with a diamond 4-4-2 formation against Rwanda, but switched to a 4-4-2 flat in the second half will most definitely make one change following the injury to top striker Victor Osimhen.
Cyriel Dessers who replaced him in that game will however not get the nod from the start, with Uche Chrisantus now prime to play in that role in his first competitive game for Nigeria after making his debut at the Unity Cup, and also the friendly game against Russia.
Chrisantus who is traditionally a midfielder has played in the two man attack role for Getafe since joining the club a season ago, and it is expected that he will play the same role for his new team Crystal Palace when he resumes after the international break.
Goal scorer Tolu Arokodare will start as the arrow head of the team’s attack, stepping up from his substitute role against Rwanda. Frank Onyeka who he replaced in that game is expected to drop to the bench for tomorrow’s crucial game.
