Manager Stephen Keshi has named his starting lineup for Saturday evening’s World Cup fixture against Bosnia and Herzegovina , which corresponds to the Super Eagles second Group F game.

Due to the unavailability of Godfrey Oboabona, Fenerbahce loanee Joseph Yobo will pair Kenneth Omeruo at central defense while the fullbacks are Efe Ambrose (Celtic) and Juwon Oshaniwa (MS Ashdod).

Lille numero uno Vincent Enyeama retains his place in goal, but there were personnel changes in midfield and attack, as Ramon Azeez and Victor Moses both drop to the bench.

John Obi Mikel (Chelsea), Eddy Onazi (Lazio) and Peter Odemwingie (Stoke City) will start in midfield.

Nigeria’s attacking threat will come from Emmanuel Emenike, Babatunde Michael and Ahmed Musa.

Confirmed Starting Eleven
Enyeama; Ambrose, Yobo, Omeruo, Oshaniwa; Mikel, Onazi, Odemwingie; Babatunde, Emenike and Musa
