Bright Osayi-Samuel will start for the Super Eagles at the AFCON semifinal today against South Africa following injury to Zaidu Sanusi, as first reported by SCORENigeria
Osayi-Samuel first start at this tournament was the final Group A clash against Guinea Bissau.
He also got bit roles against Equatorial Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon.
The Fenerbache defender will play on the right side and that means the impressive Ola Aina will shift to the left, where Zaidu would have played.
Osayi-Samuel has been picked ahead of Bruno Onyemaechi, who has yet to feature at this tournament.

Stanley Nwabali – Calvin Bassey, William Ekong (Captain), Semi Ajayi – Ola Aina, Osayi-Samuel, Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi – Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon
