Finidi George Ponders Changes as Super Eagles Prepare to Face Benin Republic in World Cup Qualifier

As the Super Eagles of Nigeria gear up to take on the Les Guépards of Benin Republic in their upcoming World Cup qualifying match, head coach Finidi George is contemplating changes following a lackluster performance against South Africa.

Finidi George, who oversaw the 1-1 draw with South Africa, will continue to lead the Super Eagles from the touchline in their encounter with Benin Republic.

In the match against South Africa, Stanley Nwabali showed his prowess in goal despite conceding a goal, making a strong case for his inclusion in the upcoming game against Benin Republic.

The defensive lineup may see adjustments, with players like Benjamin Tanimu and Bright Osayi-Samuel expected to reassume their preferred positions after playing out of place in the previous match.

The midfield trio of Wilfred Ndidi, Fisayo Ayodele-Bashiru, and Alex Iwobi, while effective, will need to work on their coordination and chemistry to better control the midfield against Gernot Rohr’s side.

Up front, the attacking combination of Ademola Lookman, Paul Onuachu, and Kelechi Iheanacho is likely to see changes, with the in-form Victor Boniface vying for a place alongside Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze.
