Valerenga of Norway midfielder, Fegor Ogude, will be making a return into the Super Eagles line up on Monday (tonight) against Tahiti in a Group B tie at the Confederation Cup in Brazil.
The stocky player, who has been dropped to the bench since the Super Eagles victory at the Nations Cup in South Africa, will fill the void that was created by injured Ogenyi Onazi.
Ogude comes in for the injured Ogenyi Onazi, as the only change to the starting line up from Wednesday’s draw against the Brave Warriors of Namibia in Windhoek.
Meanwhile, Vincent Enyeama, the team’s captain, will be in goal while Efe Ambrose, Elderson Echiejile, Kenneth Omeruo and Godfrey Oboabona will provide cover for the Israel-based goalie.
Chelsea of England star, John Obi Mikel, Fegor Ogude and Sunday Mba take charge of the midfield, just as Ahmed Musa, Anthony Ujah and Nnamdi Oduamadi lead the attack.
Nigeria will play 4-3-3 formation to Tahiti’s 4-4-2.
The Oceania Champions also have Samin, A Tehau, Vahirua, Ludivion, Caroine, Bourebare, Vallar, Chong Hue, Aitamai and J Tehau, Simon on parade.
Hostilities start at 8pm.
