Ikechukwu Uche Replaces Emenike In Starting 11

Ahead of the African Cup of Nations final, Spartak Moscow forward Emmanuel Emenike has failed a late fitness test meaning he has been left out of Nigeria's starting eleven for tonight's clash with Burkina Faso.<br /><br />Otherwise, there are no surprises in the list released by coach Stephen Keshi. In goal is stand-in skipper Vincent Enyeama. The defense comprises Godfrey Oboabona, Kenneth Omeruo, Elderson Echiejile and Efe Ambrose.<br /><br />Keshi is sticking with a flexible 4-3-3 formation which can easily be converted to a 4- 5 - 1 if the team is not in possession. Mikel Obi (Chelsea), Eddy Onazi( Lazio) and local boy Sunday Mba of Warri Wolves will star in midfield.<br /><br />Leading the Eagles charge for goals are Ikechukwu Uche, who replaces the injured Emenike, Victor Moses and Brown Ideye.<br /><br /><b><u>Nigeria Starting 11</u></b><br />Enyeama - Ambrose, Echiejile, Oboabona and Omeruo - Onazi, Mikel and Mba - Moses, Uche and Ideye<br /><br />
