The Super Eagles boss, Stephen Keshi, has yielded to Nigerians outcry to grant in-form Osaze Odemwingie a starting role against their Bosnia-Herzegovina opponents on Saturday night.
Osaze came off the bench to add bite to the Super Eagles attack against Iran in Sao Paulo.
Osaze will be joined by Emmanuel Emenike and Ahmed Musa in the attack while Chelsea star, John Obi Mikel, will anchor the midfield alongside combative Ogenyi Onazi and a certain Babatunde Michael.
Super Eagles’ first choice goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, remains in goal as captain Joseph Yobo, Juwon Oshaniwa and Ambrose Efe will provide him cover.
Ageless striker, Shola Ameobi, Victor Moses have been assigned bench roles.
Meanwhile, injured Godfrey Oboabona is not listed for the Bosnia clash.
