Nigeria have a clean bill of health ahead of their line-up being announced for Sunday’s last-16 clash with Tunisia in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Interim coach Augustine Eguavoen has confirmed he will be looking to approach the game in the same manner his team did during their opening win over Egypt, so it seems reasonable to expect a very similar lineup. Indeed, if something isn’t broken, why try and fix it?
In many ways, this looks like one of the worst teams Nigeria could have drawn.
Tunisia might not have made much of a statement themselves but, given some of the relative minnows in other groups, to get drawn against them is somewhat unlucky.
Still, if the Super Eagles are going to lift the AFCON on Cameroonian soil, these are the games they need to win.
Nigeria XI: Okoye; Aina, Troost-Ekong, Omeruo, Sanusi; Ndidi, Aribo; Chukwueze, Simon, Iheanacho; Awoniyi.
Date and time: 7pm GMT, Sunday January 23, 2022.
Venue: Roumde Adija Stadium in Garoua
