Gernot Rohr will be counting on the speed of Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon to unlock the defence of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon after starting both in today’s crucial AFCON Round of 16 clash.
Otherwise, there are no surprises in the Super Eagles line-up as Nigeria aim to go past Cameroon to the quarterfinal of the AFCON.
Goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi and defenders Kenneth Omeruo and William Ekong as well as Alex Iwobi in central midfield will also start.
England-based stars Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenkaro Etebo will again anchor defensive midfield.
