The Libyan Football Federation have announced the Mediterranean Knights' starting line-up before their meeting with Nigeria in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
The most eye-catching name in the starting line-up is former Manchester City wonderkid and England U17 midfielder Ahmad Ahmad Benali, who plays on the same Crotone team as Super Eagles striker Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo.
The Manchester-born star featured in the headlines last month after scoring a Maradona-like goal for his Italian Serie B club in a 2-1 loss to Pescara.
Libya will be captained today by Al Ahly SC Tripoli goalkeeper Mohamed Fathi Nachnouch.
Raja's Sanad Massaoud Mohamed, Al-Ittihad's Mootassem Massaoud Sabou, Vitoria Guimarães' Ali Al Musrati and New York City's Ismael Tajouri-Shradi will start the match.
Libya Starting XI Vs Nigeria : Nashnosh (c) (GK), Alterbi, Sanad, Almuqsi, Sabou, Almusrati, BinAli, Badr, Muner, Shradi, Salto
