Published: October 08, 2015
Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has announced his starting line - up to face Democratic Republic of Congo in an international friendly at the VISE Stadium on Thursday, starting from 1800 hours.
The biggest news hours leading up to the clash was Vincent Enyeama announcing his retirement from international football, meaning the Lille shot - stopper was omitted from the 11 players that will step out on the pitch.
Wolves netminder Carl Ikeme will be in between the pipes for the third time in Nigeria colours, and Elderson Echiejile, Abdullahi Shehu, William Troost - Ekong and Leon Balogun will protect him.
Chelsea’s Obi Mikel will start in midfield alongside Eddy Onazi (Lazio ) and Rabiu Ibahim (AS Trencin).
Fenerbahce loanee Emmanuel Emenike has missed out on the starting XI, with Oliseh preferring Odion Ighalo, Ahmed Musa and Sylvester Igboun in attack.
Super Eagles Starting XI : Ikeme; Echiejile, Troost - Ekong, Shehu, Balogun; Mikel, Onazi, Ibrahim; Musa, Ighalo, Igboun
