AFCON: Troost-Ekong, Iwobi, Lookman start for Super Eagles against Cameroon

Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro has made four changes in his starting X1 for the highly anticipated clash with the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

Vice-captain William Troost-Ekong is returning to the squad after missing Monday’s 1-0 win against the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau due to a thigh injury.

Fulham’s Alex Iwobi will take the place of Joe Aribo in midfield.

Aribo, who made his first start in the competition, failed to shine against Guinea-Bissau.

Zaidu Sanusi is returning to the left-back position after he started the game against Guinea-Bissau from the bench.

Atalanta winger, Ademola Lookman is also preferred to Samuel Chukwueze in the starting line-up.

Super Eagles Starting XI (3-4-3)

Stanley Nwabali – Calvin Bassey, William Ekong (Captain), Semi Ajayi – Ola Aina, Zaidu Sanusi, Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi – Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon
