Keshi makes changes as Aluko, Lawal, Oshaniwa start against Sudan

The Super Eagles trainer is expected to make
three key changes to the side that lost in
Khartoum when they take on the Falcons of
Jediane this evening in Abuja
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi is expected to make
changes in the starting line up of the team in
today’s match against Sudan
Goal scooped that the place of Ahmed Musa in
the right wing attack of the team is already take
by Omatsone Aluko of Hall City.
Musa did not take part in Monday’s training
exercise held at the main bowl of the Abuja
National Stadium. He was nursing an injury that
the team doctor said was not a major one.
He has joined recuperating Michael Babatunde o
the bench while Aluko will be starting a match in
Eagles colours for the first time under Keshi.
Another major doubt is Elderson Echiejile who
may not start the match on the left back for the
Eagles due to loss of form. Although Echiejile is
not injured, it is believed that Keshi prefers to
start Juwon Oshaniwa who had an impressive ru
at the World Cup in Brazil.
Oshaniwa has also proved his form during the
training sessions he had with the Eagles since hi
arrival in Abuja.
Raheem Lawal is also a preferred first choice in
the midfield and will be starting ahead of Nosa
Igiebor in today’s cracker against Sudan.
Other players including team captain and
goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, Efe Ambrose,
Godfrey Oboabona, Kenneth Omeruo, Onazi
Ogenyi, Mikel Obi, Emmanuel Emenike and
Gbolahan Salami retained their starting place in
the team for today’s match.
