Frank Onyeka will add more bodies in midfield instead, while Bruno Onyemaechi will slot into leftback in place of Zaidu, who was below par against Tanzania Tuesday.
Otherwise, coach Eric Chelle has kept faith with the core of his team from the opening group game in Morocco.
Jerome Akor will again combine with Victor Osimhen in attack, while Semi Ajayi will play alongside Calvin Bassey in the heart of the back four as expected.
The team are set up more on a 4-3-3 formation as against the preferred system of 4-4-2 of the coach.
Super Eagles Starting XI vs Tunisia- Nwabali – Osayi-Samuel, Onyemaechi, Ajayi, Bassey – Ndidi (Captain), Onyeka, Iwobi – Ademola Lookman, Akor, Osimhen
