Despite qualifying for the round of 16 with a game to spare, coach Emmanuel Amuneke has named a strong line - up for his side’s last Group A fixture against Croatia on Saturday morning at Estadio Municipal Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso, Coquimbo.

The Nigeria Under 17s manager has made only one change to the starting XI that beat hosts Chile on Wednesday morning, with Joel Aiyetoya Osikel replacing the suspended Udochukwu Anumudu.

The scorers against Chile and United States - Kelechi Nwakali, Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze and Chukwudi Agor - will be hoping to increase their tally after making the teamsheet.

Funsho Bamgboye is serving a one - match ban following his red card against Chile and is unavailable for selection.
