Super Eagles interim technical adviser Augustine Eguavoen is expected to ring changes in the team’s midfield for the second leg of the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoffs against the Black Stars of Ghana.
The team’s midfield was overrun by the Black Stars in the first leg at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kumasi last Friday.
Eguavoen paraded the trio of Innocent Bonke, Joe Aribo and Kelechi Iheanacho in the game.

Bonke was replaced by Watford’s Oghenekaro Etebo after picking up an injury, but is expected to be fit for the return leg after returning to training on Monday.
Etebo is expected to be named in the starting line-up, while Aribo could be pushed upfront to play behind Victor Osimhen.
Bonke or Frank Onyeka are in contention to fill the other midfield position.
The fixture is billed for the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja on Tuesday. (Completesports)
