Exclusive : Azubuike Returns; Umars, Mikel Start As Siasia Names Line-Up For Honduras Clash

Nigeria coach Samson Siasia has named his final starting line-up at the Olympic Games as the Dream Team prepare to take on Honduras in the bronze medal game at Mineirão, Belo Horizonte.

This is Nigeria’s final opportunity to win a medal at the Olympic Games, so the former Nantes striker has named his strongest possible line-up, though Oghenekaro Etebo did not make the line-up due to fitness issues.

Emmanuel Daniel will continue his goalkeeping duties, with William Troost-Ekong, Shehu Abdullahi, Sincere Seth and Stanley Amuzie starting in defense.

Azubuike Okechukwu returns to the starting XI after serving a one-game ban and he is joined in midfield by skipper Obi Mikel and Usman Mohammed.

The attack consists of Sadiq Umar, Imoh Ezekiel and Aminu Umar.
