The starting lineup for the senior national team of Nigeria in today’s semi final game against the host Morocco in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations didn’t spring up any surprises, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
With captain Wilfred Ndidi suspended head coach Eric Chelle was left with what many see as a difficult task in picking his replacement from the trio of Raphael Onyedika, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Tochukwu Nnadi.
Chelle according to what we exclusively gathered has settled for Onyedika as the man to fill in the void created by the absence of the captain. Other than that he kept faith with the same team that prosecuted the last two games.
” No surprises from what I am hearing. Onyedika will replace Ndidi. Chelle is not taking risk with many changes so you will likely see the same starting lineup. Any tweak or adjustment will likely be in the second half”, a source revealed.
The game will begin by 9pm Nigerian time, shortly after the first semi final game between Egypt and Senegal.
