The German has made three changes to the side which faced Poland on Friday and one of the changes will see ADO Den Haag right-back Tyronne Ebuehi replace Abdullahi Shehu.

While the Bursaspor defender is on the bench, Kelechi Iheanacho and Oghenekaro Etebo have been entirely ruled out of the friendly after failing to recover from their injuries.

Deportivo de La Coruña goalkeeper Francis Uzoho starts ahead of Ikechukwu Ezenwa in goal.

In a 4-3-3 formation, Brian Idowu will start on the left as usual while Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong will continue their center-back partnership.

Trabzonspor's Eddy Onazi returns to the starting line-up and will protect the back four, Wilfred Ndidi and Joel Obi will play slightly ahead of him in a three-man midfield.

Ahmed Musa will lead the charge for goals and the CSKA Moscow striker will be flanked by Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses.

The friendly in the English capital will start at 2000 hours Nigerian time.
