Super Eagles’ captain, John Obi Mikel, and Victor Moses return to the national team line up as the Super Eagles file out against the Three Lions of England at the magnificent Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening.

Captain Obi Mikel will spearhead the midfield alongside Joel Obi, Alex Iwobi and Ogenyi Onazi, while the duo of Victor Moses and Odion Ighalo lead Nigeria’s assault upfront.
The substitutes are Daniel Akpeyi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Kenneth Omeruo, Mikel Agu, Chidozie Awaziem, Simeon Nwankwo, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa, John Ogu, Tyronne Ebuehi, Ola Aina, Elderson Echiejile, Oghenekaro Etebo and Wilfred Ndidi.
The tie will kick off at 5pm.
