Nosa Igiebor Named In Starting Lineup

Manager Stephen Keshi has announced his starting eleven for the crucial African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan in Khartoum, which begins less than three hours from now.

Lille numero uno Vincent Enyeama will be in between the pipes while Oboabona, Omeruo, Ambrose and Echiejile have his green-light to man the defense.

Interestingly, Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Nosa Igiebor, who brought sanity to the midfield after he was introduced against Congo, has been named in the team-sheet, and he will be complemented by Chelsea ace John Obi Mikel and Lazio youngster Eddy Onazi.

Nigeria’s attacking threat will come from Emmanuel Emenike, Gbolahan Salami and Ahmed Musa.

The African champions defeated their opponents today 4 - 0 the last time both countries clashed in a sanctioned international.
