Super Eagles captain, Ekong, fell, Adela Lookman begins

The captain of the Super Eagles, William Ekong, has been released to the bank, while Adela Lookman will begin against Rwanda today despite not playing an official game for his Italian club this season.

Benjamin Fredrick will begin ahead of Ekong in the central defense along with Calvin Bassey, while Adela Lookman will play with Victor Osimhen in attack.

Fredrick shone at the Unity Cup in London in May.

Wilfred Ndidi, therefore, will take the team to day and also fresh energy in the midfield provided by a Frank Onyaka that works hard.

Alex Iwobi will wait again to provide the creative in the machine room

Otherwise, coach Eric Chelle has maintained the faith with the core of the team with which he has worked since he took charge earlier this year.
