Goalkeeper
Udinese’s Maduka Okoye steps in for Stanley Nwabali, who is absent due to a personal loss. Okoye, renowned for his agility and shot-stopping skills, will look to put in a solid performance in this critical fixture.

Defenders
Bright Osayi-Samuel takes over the right-back position in place of the injured Ola Aina. His speed and defensive capabilities will be key in both defensive and offensive transitions. Bruno Onyemaechi of Boavista will continue at left-back, bringing his experience and tactical awareness.
In central defence, captain William Troost-Ekong will partner with Gabriel Osho to form a reliable defensive duo. Troost-Ekong’s leadership and defensive acumen will be vital in keeping Rwanda’s attackers at bay.

Midfield
The midfield trio consists of Frank Onyeka, Alhassan Yusuf, and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru. Onyeka’s combative nature, Yusuf’s creativity, and Dele-Bashiru’s ability to drive the team forward will provide balance and control in the middle of the park, facilitating quick transitions from defence to attack.

Attack
Leading the attack is Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface, with Moses Simon and Kelechi Iheanacho providing support. Simon’s pace and ability to deliver dangerous crosses, combined with Iheanacho’s goal-scoring ability, will be a constant threat to the Rwandan defence.

Match Context
Rwanda must win this match to keep their hopes alive for qualification to the 2025 AFCON. Meanwhile, the Super Eagles have already secured their place in the tournament and will be playing for pride.
