Lookman and five other Super Eagles players with a point to prove in return leg v Guinea-Bissau
Published: March 26, 2023.png)
Nigerians were left frustrated as the Super Eagles lost to Guinea-Bissau on Friday evening at the Moshood Abiola stadium in Abuja.
There is no gain in saying that most of the players disappointed the fans and they would be looking to redeem themselves when they square up against the Djurtus on Monday at the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau.
Below are 6 players that have the most point to prove going into Monday's encounter
1. Calvin Bassey: The Ajax Amsterdam defender looked surprisingly match-rusty on Friday evening and he was always out of place whenever the Djurtus attacked particularly in the first half.
He must redeem himself on Monday and show why he should be trusted for future games.
2. Zaidu Sanusi: The Porto left-back had a nightmare of performance in the first leg, he offered nothing offensively and defensively. With a viable option like Bruno Onyemaechi available, Sanusi has to step up in Guinea-Bissau
3.Samuel Chukwueze; While he looked lively throughout the encounter, his end product was largely disappointing. The Villarreal defender has to show that he has a role to play in the Super Eagles against the Djurtus.
4. Ademola Lookman: Though he wasn't played in his favourite position as the second striker, he was largely ineffective and that explains why he got substituted after the first 45 minutes.
Whether he starts or comes off from the bench, the Atalanta striker must prove that he is a valuable member of the squad.
5. Moses Simon: The Nantes forward came on a second-half substitute and could not influence the scoreline.
He got one of Nigeria's best chances in the game but he could not hit the target. Simon must be at his best on Monday and silence his critics.
6. Kelechi Iheanacho: The Leicester City striker was taken off at the end of the first half in Friday's encounter as he failed to muster a shot during his time on the pitch. Iheanacho must redeem himself if given the chance by Peseiro
