Nigeria’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Rwanda will feature Captain William Troost-Ekong, with Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen serving first in the lineup. &nbsp,

According to the lineup that was made public on the team’s official social media page, Coach Eric Chelle lacked Benjamin Frederick in place. At the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, the 20-year-old FCV Dender EH defender will play alongside Calvin Bassey in the center of Nigeria’s defense.

Wilfred Ndidi, a former Leicester City midfielder, will lead the Amavubis. In establishing the team’s midfield, Frank Onyeka and Alex Iwobi will work with him.

Stanley Nwabali, the team’s first-choice goalkeeper, will continue to play in Simon Moses’ defense despite a team injury scare, while Osimhen and Lookman will provide support for them.

Nigeria must win to maintain their slim chances of winning the World Cup, having only managed seven points in the six games they have played so far in the US, Mexico, and Canada qualifying process.
