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 />
