Osayi-Samuel and Akpoguma in- How the Super Eagles lineup

The Tremendous Eagles of Nigeria will tackle Portugal on the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Thursday and coach Jose Peseiro has released a strong lineup for the fixture.

New boy Brilliant Osayi-Samuel makes his debut, whereas Kevin Akpoguma makes his long-awaited return to the workforce.

Nigeria’s Portuguese tactician Peseiro opted for a midfield trio of Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, and Joe Aribo.

Upfront, Terem Moffi leads the road within the absence of Victor Osimhen, whereas Moses Simon and Ademola Lookman will function from the wings.

Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho maintains his spot in aim, whereas Watford goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and uncapped Adebayo Adeleye begin from the bench.

If there’s a want for wringing modifications, Peseiro has in a position fingers on the bench. In-form Genk talisman Paul Onuachu makes the bench, alongside Cyriel Dessers, Bruno Onyemaechi, Chidozie Awazie, Samuel Chukwueze, Tyrone Ebuehi, Cyriel Dessers, Emmanuel Dennis, Frank Onyeka, and Oghenekaro Etebo.

Kick-off is 7:45 PM Nigerian time.
