Nigeria will be without Victor Osimhen, who is recovering from knee surgery, and Samuel Chukwueze, who is continuing his rehabilitation from a hip operation.

Semi Ajayi has joined the squad after a cramp scare at Hull City, but his fitness will be assessed, while Moses Usor remains in the selection despite reports of an injury.

George Ilenikhena is also unavailable after being left out because of fitness concerns. His absence could see Taiwo Awoniyi and Akor Adams lead the attack in Eric Chelle's preferred 4-4-2 diamond, with Tolu Arokodare another option.

Maduka Okoye and Kelechi Iheanacho are notable omissions, while Francis Uzoho returns and Mubarak Suleiman earns his first senior call-up.
