The senior national team of Nigeria will later today have their final training session ahead of tomorrow’s AFCON qualifiers game against Tanzania, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Chelle had the full compliment of all the players invited for the game in yesterday’s penultimate training, and it gave us a hint of how the starting lineup will look like for tomorrow’s game.

Stanley Nwabali will keep his spot in goal with the back four likely to be the quartet of Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Bruno Onyemaechi and Semi Ajayi.

A three man midfield was what we noticed that the coach tried in the session. He has Tochukwu Nnadi at the base with the duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi ahead of him.

The attack will be led by Tolu Arokodare alongside Ademola Lookman and Akor Adams. However the coach also hinted at a flat 4-4-2 which could see Akor go out as well as Nnadi.

If he opts for that, it will mean the traditional wing combination of Moses Simon and Moses Usor will start on either flanks with Arokodare staying at the peak of the attack, ahead of Lookman in a more central role.
