The potential return of Zaidu Sanusi to training with the team suggests that he may reclaim his spot in the starting XI after missing the semi-final due to injury.

It is anticipated that Sanusi, the FC Porto wingback, will be slotted directly into Peseiro’s lineup for the crucial match.

In attack, Victor Osimhen is expected to receive support from top scorer Ademola Lookman and Simon Moses.

Peseiro is likely to deploy a 3-4-3 formation, with William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, and Calvin Bassey forming the defensive trio, shielding goalkeeper Nwabali.

With Sanusi’s inclusion, Ola Aina will likely revert to his natural wing position. Meanwhile, Alex Iwobi and Frank Onyeka are anticipated to occupy the midfield positions.

The Super Eagles’ final showdown against Ivory Coast kicks off at 9 PM WAT.
