Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has announced his starting lineup for Tuesday evening's 2025 Africa Cup of Nations clash with Uganda.

As expected the Malian football tactician has made several changes to his starting lineup, with qualification for the round of 16 already secured without a ball being kicked. 

Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is struggling with a knee issue after landing awkwardly as he attempted to prevent Tunisia's first goal during last weekend's match. 

As a result, he has been omitted from the starting lineup, with Cypriot-based goalkeeper Francis replacing the Chippa United glovesman.

Uzoho is protected by a back four of Ryan Alebiosu, Igoh Ogbu, Calvin Bassey and Bruno Onyemaechi. 

Born in London, the Blackburn Rovers star is no longer eligible to represent England following his inclusion in the starting lineup as the Africa Cup of Nations is a competitive tournament. 

Raphael Onyedika is partnered by Fisayo Dele-Bashiru in central midfield, with Samuel Chukwueze and Moses Simon occupying the wide midfield roles.

Victor Osimhen will lead the line for the three-time African champions and he is supported by Paul Onuachu
