Auxerre’s 26-year-old defender is set to make his starting debut for the Super Eagles in their match against Benin’s Cheetahs on Thursday. The former Luton Town player will feature as one of three central defenders in Nigeria’s 3-5-2 formation.

Victor Osimhen will lead the attack, with Ademola Lookman offering support. In midfield, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi, and Kelechi Iheanacho are expected to rotate in the No. 10 role, as the Eagles aim for another victory against Gernot Rohr’s Benin side.
