Flying Eagles coach Aliyu Zubairu has made a big call for tonight’s U20 AFCON Group B clash against Morocco as Hoffenheim striker Precious Benjamin will start ahead of star striker Kparobo Arierhi.
Arierhi was the top star when the Flying Eagles won the WAFU B championship in Togo last year, when he scored three goals including a brace in the final against Ghana.
The Lillestrom striker started against Tunisia, before he was replaced by Benjamin.
Coach Zubairu has also dropped defensive midfielder Caleb Ochedikwu for Israel Ayuma.
Otherwise, it is the same team who started Thursday who will file out tonight for Nigeria.
FLYING EAGLES STARTING XI (4-3-3) vs Morocco
Harcourt – Okoro, Maigari, Bameyi (Captain), Chukwu – Israel Ayuma, Auwal Ibrahim, Divine Oliseh – Amole, Precious Benjamin, Jephta.
