Nigeria v Argentina: Rohr announces Super Eagles starting X1 in crucial Group D clash

Super Eagles Manager, Gernot Rohr has announced his starting lineup
for the team's crucial World Cup match against the Albiceleste of
Argentina on Tuesday.


The German has decided to stick with the same 3-5-2 formation that was
used against Iceland last Friday.

There are no personnel changes as Deportivo de La Coruña goalkeeper,
Francis Uzoho will start the biggest game of his career against Lionel
Messi and others.


Kenneth Omeruo, who did well in the air against Iceland, William
Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun are lined up against Messi.

While Mikel maintains his defensive midfield role, Victor Moses will
take up defensive duties and that is the case.

Brian Idowu is preferred ahead of Tyronne Ebuehi once again.
Oghenekaro Etebo and Wilfred Ndidi will complete the five-man
midfield, meaning Arsenal starlet, Alex Iwobi starts on the bench.


Nigeria's top scorer in World Cup history, Ahmed Musa gets the nod
up-front and he will be assisted by Leicester City teammate, Kelechi
Iheanacho.

Nigeria Starting XI Vs Argentina: Uzoho; Balogun, Troost-Ekong,
