Gernot Rohr's probable line-up vs Seychelles
Goalkeeper
World Cup shot-stopper Francis Uzoho is set to man the post for the three-time AFCON winners. The 20-year-old goalie made his debut for Nigeria last year, and has been Rohr's undisputed first-choice goaltender.
Defenders
Germany-based Paderborn FC star Jamilu Collins will likely retain his place at the left-back position, while fit-again right-back Shehu Abdullahi might return to the team's first XI for the first time in many months.
Udinese centre-back Troost Ekong is certainly going to be in the German's line-up against Seychelles.
Leon Balogun is expected to partner the Netherlands-born star while in-form Leganes star Kenneth Omeruo will be on the bench
Midfielders
Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi is back to camp after serving his one-match ban, and he's expected to return to the line-up.
Stoke City's Peter Etebo and Arsenal's Alex Iwobi will likely join the the former Genk man at the middle of the park.
Attackers
Considering the status of the encounter, AFCON qualifier's joint leading goalscorer Odion Ighalo will start as usual , while newcomer Paul Onuachu could debut off the bench.
Ahmed Musa will feature from the right flank and Simon Moses operates from the left wing.
Summary of Coach Gernot Rohr's possible lineup
Uzoho ; Balogun , Ekong, Collins, Abdullahi ; Etebo , Ndidi, Iwobi; Musa, Ighalo , Moses.
