Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has announced his starting eleven for Wednesday afternoon’s international friendly against the Czech Republic in Austria.
For as many as may have doubted, Francis Uzoho looks to become the country’s first-choice goalkeeper at the World Cup as he starts his fifth straight game for the national team.
There are no surprises in the defence as Abdullahi Shehu, Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong and Brian Idowu all start.
Ogenyi Onazi and Joel Obi are relegated to the bench as John Ogu is joined by Captain John Obi Mikel and the now-fit Wilfred Ndidi in midfield.
Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses will support Odion Ighalo in the attack
Nigeria Starting XI: Uzoho, Shehu, Troost-Ekong, Balogun, Idowu, Ogu, Ndidi, Iwobi, Mikel, Moses, Ighalo
