Published: June 22, 2019

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Nigeria manager Thomas Dennerby has picked his starting line-up for Saturday's Women's World Cup round of sixteen match against Germany at the Stade des Alpes, Grenoble.

Three changes have been made from the team which started the 1-0 loss to France in Rennes five days ago.

As expected, the young goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie retains her place in goal with Tochukwu Oluehi deputizing if needed from the bench.

The defence comprises of Chidinma Okeke, Onome Ebi, Evelyn Nwabuoku and Osinachi Ohale.

Uchenna Kalu replaces the suspended Rita Chikwelu and she is joined in midfield by Ngozi Okobi and Halimatu Ayinde.

Desire Oparanozie and Francisca Ordega start upfront for the African champions while Barcelona striker Asisat Oshoala has been named on the bench.
