Victor Osimhen is starting from the bench in Tuesday’s African Cup of Nations qualifying clash between the Super Eagles and Rwanda in Kigali.
Manager, Austin Eguavoen has only made a single change from the lineup that beat Benin Republic on Saturday as the Eagles hope to continue their great start to the qualifiers at the Amahoro Stadium.
Osimhen scored Nigeria’s second goal, just eight minutes after coming on in Saturday’s 3-0 victory against Benin Uyo but he has not won the Eguavoen’s confidence to lead the line.
In his place, Victor Boniface starts alongside 2-goal hero against Benin, Ademola Lookman, and Samuel Chukwueze.
Lazio midfielder, Tom Dele-Basiru, meanwhile has come in place of Fulham midfielder, Alex Iwobi who had a quiet game against Benin.
The game starts at 2 pm.
FULL LINEUP: Stanley Nwabali, Troost Ekong, Ola Aina, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey, Wilfred Ndidi, Fiasyo Dele- Basiru, Bruno Onyemeachi, Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze and Victor Boniface.
