Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has picked his back four for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in London, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Chelle will be without his regular and preferred back four for the tournament, who will be given a rest and be back in the team for the high profile friendly games against Poland and Portugal respectively.
We can exclusively reveal that Chelle will go with a back four of Emmanuel Fernandez and Chibuike Nwaiwu as the centre back. Felix Agu will be at right back if he gets the medical all clear to play at the tournament.
FC Porto defender Zaidu Sanusi will be the choice at left back and will likely wear the captain armband, if he gets to start in the absence of goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
The back four is however subject to changes from the head coach, but for now the aforementioned is his preferred quartet for the opening game against Zimbabwe.
