Moses, Atuloma, Ogbugh, Gabriel Start In 4-2-3-1 Formation CHAN Final Vs Morocco
Published: February 04, 2018
According to information gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com, Nigeria have made four changes to the starting line-up for Sunday evening's African Nations Championship final against Morocco at Stade Mohamed V, Casablanca.
Enyimba goalkeeper and captain Ikechukwu Ezenwa has failed to recover from the injury he sustained in the semifinal against Sudan and Plateau United's Dele Ajiboye replaces him in goal.
Coach Salisu Yusuf has opted to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, his most preferred formation at the African Nations Championship, and has put Osas Okoro, Ikouwem Udoh, Stephen Eze and Kalu Orji in a four-man defense.
The two central midfielders are Emeka Atuloma (Dolphins) and Dayo Ojo (Sunshine Stars).
Emeka Ogbugh is making a return to the starting line-up and he is joined in attacking midfield by Rabiu Ali and Peter Moses.
In the absence of Anthony Okpotu, who is expected to be introduced later in the game, Gabriel Okechukwu will lead the Super Eagles attack.
The final which starts at 2000 hours will be officiated by Gambian referee Bakary Gassama.
