Third choice goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho will start his first game of the competition in place of Daniel Akpeyi.

Kenneth Omeruo, William Troost-Ekong and Jamilu Collins will join Aina in defence.
In midfield, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo and Alex Iwobi will continue their partnership.

Basket(Akpeyi) commot Another Tear Tear basket(uzoho) enta!!mtcheeew
lol
Uzoho is far better than Akpeyi.
We don’t want to see that man called Akpeyi near the super eagle anymore please! It’s very obvious that Uzoho is far better than him. What’s wrong with Rohr for choosing him over Uzoho anyway? Uzoho would have averted that Riyad Mahrez’s free kick that broke over 200 millions hearts away because is a very tall guy and beside he knows how to organize his defence.
