Nigeria Vs Sudan: Three Key Dream Team VII Players To Keep An Eye On
Nigeria's Dream VII will hope to return to winning ways when they battle Sudan in the return leg of the AFCON U23 Qualifiers at Stephen Stadium on Tuesday.

Imama Amapakabo's men were surprisingly defeated 1-0 by the North African side last week and they need an outright win to qualify to the upcoming U23 tournament.

Considering the importance of the game, all the players are expected to up their game. Allnigeriasoccer.com has come up with the list of top three players whose performances will go a long way to determine  the outcome of the game.

1. Kelechi Nwakali

The former Arsenal midfielder is no doubt one of the highly-rated players in the team and his inclusion to the team is a massive boost.

The former Golden Eaglets captain will be charged with the responsibility of creating goalscoring chances for his fellow teammates and his exposure in Europe should be largely utilized.

2. Taiwo Awoniyi

Though the Liverpool loanee was a culprit of missed chances in the first leg, he is still a very important part of the team.

Imama Amapakabo will hope to see the forward return to his deadly goalscoring form as he will be counting on his experience to lead the team to victory.

3. Azubuike Okechukwu

The İstanbul Başakşehir midfielder is another player whose performance will influence the outcome of the encounter.

Many Nigerians will keep their eyes on his display to see if he is ready for Super Eagles duty in the nearest future.
