Omeruo to feature for Super Eagles clash against Mali
Centre-back Kenneth Omeruo is set to lead Nigeria’s defense in their upcoming match against Mali on Tuesday night, following his absence in the first friendly against Ghana due to a training ground injury.
Omeruo was listed as an unused substitute during the encounter with the Black Stars.
In light of Omeruo and Calvin Bassey’s unavailability, interim head coach Finidi George has included Benjamin Tanimu in the starting line-up.
Tanimu, who currently plays for Tanzanian side Ihefu SC, is expected to step aside to make room for the return of the experienced defender against Mali.
As the most seasoned international player at Finidi’s disposal in Marrakech, Morocco, Omeruo’s presence promises to bolster the Super Eagles’ defensive line.
Additionally, the absence of Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka and Bassey has led to adjustments in the squad for the upcoming fixture.
