Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has announced his starting line-up for Sunday's international friendly against Brazi at the National Stadium in Singapore.
Deportivo de La Coruña loanee Francis Uzoho is preferred to Ikechukwu Ezenwa in goal.
William Troost-Ekong, who captains the Super Eagles today, is partnered in central defence by Semi Ajayi for the second successive game, while Chidozie Awaziem and Jamilu Collins occupy the fullback positions.
The three-man midfield contains Wilfred Ndidi, Joe Aribo and Alex Iwobi, with the former Arsenal man deployed as the playmaker.
Lille's Victor Osimhen has retained his starting spot and he is flanked by Samuel Chukwueze and Moses Simon., meaning there is only a place on the bench for new boys Viv Solomon-Otabor and Peter Olayinka.
The game is scheduled to kickoff at 1300 hours and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
Nigeria Starting XI : Uzoho; Awaziem, Ajayi, Troost-Ekong, Collins; Ndidi, Aribo, Iwobi; Chukwueze, Simon, Osimhen
