2019 U20 World Cup : Man City's Dele-Bashiru Still Out Of Favour As Nigeria Announce Starting XI Vs Senegal
Paul Aigbogun has repeated the same starting line-up he used against Ukraine for Nigeria's round of 16 clash against Senegal on Monday evening at the Lodz Stadium, Lodz.

Olawale Oremade has been selected to be in between the pipes for the fourth consecutive game.

Aigbogun has chosen Aliu Salawudeen and Igoh Ogbu to be the pair of central defenders, with Zulkifilu Rabiu and captain Ikouwem Udo playing as the fullbacks.

Enyimba's Ozornwafor will watch on from the sidelines because of a groin injury which also kept him out of the final group game against Ukraine.

Bournemouth's Nnamdi Ofoborh will hold the midfield together in the absence of Jamil Muhammad, who has been ruled out of the tournament, while Manchester City's Tom Dele-Bashiru is still out of favour.

Maxwell Effiom, Kingsley Michael and Success Makanjuola will play in advanced midfield positions.

Aigbogun has decided against recalling Jerome Akor with the tall Baník Ostrava striker Tijani Muhamed  preferred to lead the line.

Nigeria Starting XI : Oremade; Zulkifilu, Aliu, Ogbu, Utin; Ofoborh, Okon, Michael, Makanjuola, Effiom, Muhammed
