Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle is undecided on who will be the perfect replacement for captain Wilfred Ndidi when they take on Morocco in the semi final of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.
Ndidi picked up his second booking of the knock out round in the 2-0 win over Algeria in the quarter final, hence will be suspended for the game against the host on Wednesday.
Raphael Onyedika fits the bill as a like for like replacement for the captain who is also carrying a hamstring injury, but Chelle has other ideas in his head for the game.
The coach is pondering dropping Frank Onyeka to the base of his diamond midfield, where Ndidi usually occupies and move Ademola Lookman from his high up role with Moses Simon taking up one of the spot for the three strikers.
Chelle and his technical crew had a long discussion on who will best suit what they intend to do against Morocco, and will take a decision after today’s training.
