Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has made changes to the starting lineup of the team for tomorrow’s game against Jordan at the ongoing Four team invitational tournament in Turkey, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nigeria started their campaign on a sound note with a 2-1 win over Iran, and will be aiming to finish as tournament winners when they take on Jordan who drew 2-2 with Costa Rica in their first game.
Although Chelle is mindful of the fact that some newly invited players need to be assessed, he has however made it clear that he will put forward a very good team that can get the job done against Jordan.
In goal, Maduka Okoye is expected to be rested with one of either Adebayo Adeleye or Francis Uzoho starting. Zaidu Sanusi will start at left back with Bruno Onyemaechi who started in the first game rested.
Captain Wilfred Ndidi is also not in contention to play tomorrow, opening the door for Raphael Onyedika or Frank Onyeka to be in the starting lineup.
The duo of Moses Simon and Jerome Akor who were on the score sheet against Iran, will also be given a rest with Paul Onuachu and Chidera Ejuke lined up as their respective replacement.
Chibuike Nwaiwu who made his debut against Iran as a substitute is expected to play from the start tomorrow.
