Uganda vs Nigeria team news

Nigeria had a few injury concerns during their spirited 3-2 win over Tunisia, including goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who is still managing his injury.

The goalkeeper admitted that he feels pain, and it has been quite difficult for him amid criticism from Nigerians over his recent performances.

Victor Osimhen and Frank Onyeka also had issues against Tunisia and could be tested even though they participated in the full team training.

Ademola Lookman was another player with a minor issue against the Carthage Eagles, but he has declared himself fit during the post-match conference.

According to the London Evening Standard, this could prompt Super Eagles boss Eric Chelle to heavily rotate his squad for the match against the Cranes.

Uganda is at full strength with no injured players, and the NFF noted that Paul Put will name a strong squad as the only way to reach the next round is to beat Nigeria.

Ugandan striker of Nigerian descent, Uche Ikpeazu, could be handed a start after coming off the bench to score the equaliser against rivals Tanzania.

The 6 ft 3 in 30-year-old forward confirms that he is emotionally attached to Uganda and will do his best to ensure they defeat Nigeria.
