Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Austine Eguavoen has revealed the starting lineup for Nigeria’s round of 16 game against Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations. Eguavoen was largely expected to make some changes to the lineup despite the fact that he has stuck to same players bar when he rested players in their third group game against Guinea-Bissau. The coach tinkered with what looks like his preferred lineup during yesterday’s training with Samuel Chukwueze who hasn’t lit up the tournament as expected replaced by Everton forward Alex Iwobi. Iwobi started and lasted the entire duration of the win over Guinea-Bissau. He has however dropped to the bench as Eguavoen has decided to stick to same lineup that started the first two games of the tournament. Starting XI Maduka Okoye Ola Aina Zaidu Sanusi William Troost Ekong Kenneth Omeruo Wilfred Ndidi Joe Aribo Kelechi Iheanacho Samuel Chukwueze Moses Simon Taiwo Awoniyi
