Super Eagles Head Coach, Jose Peseiro, has revealed his strategic adjustments for the highly anticipated 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash against Bafana Bafana.
Peseiro, facing the absence of Zaidu Sanusi due to injury, has made a pivotal change to the starting lineup, bringing in Bright Osayi-Samuel for the crucial encounter at the Stade de la Paix, Bouake. Osayi-Samuel, making his second start in the competition, steps into the shoes of the injured Sanusi.
The rest of the lineup features key players, including goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, and Calvin Bassey, ensuring continuity in the defensive line.
The reliable duo of Frank Onyeka and Alex Iwobi will anchor the midfield, while talismanic striker Victor Osimhen spearheads the attack, flanked by Ademola Lookman and Moses Simon on the wings. Peseiro's calculated move reflects the coach's strategic vision as the Super Eagles aim for success in this crucial stage of the tournament
