Nigeria vs Libya: Super Eagles possible line up as Boniface leads attack in Osimhen’s absence.

Ahead of the Super Eagles' third round of games of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Libya, Augustine Eguavoen will be without African Player of the Year Victor Osimhen for the clash.

Nigeria are back in action this month after picking four points from two games last month.

Nigeria's campaign has been solid, with a 3-0 victory over Benin and a goalless draw against Rwanda.

They currently lead the group with four points. Libya, on the other hand, is at the bottom with one draw and one defeat.

The three-time African champions will host Libya at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Friday.

The Super Eagles aim to secure their qualification and continue their dominance on the African continent.

The Super Eagles will be without their star striker, Victor Osimhen, due to injury.

Olisa Ndah is also sidelined due to injury. But despite these absences, Nigeria boast a strong squad with players like Wilfred Ndidi, Victor Boniface, and Samuel Chukwueze.

With Osimhen out, Boniface will be expected to lead the attack. His impressive form for Bayer Leverkusen makes him a key player for the Super Eagles to lead the frontline.

Here is how Augustine Eguavoen might start against Libya (343):

Goalkeeper: Stanley Nwabili

Defenders: Calvin Bassey, William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi,

Midfielders: Raphael Onyedika, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Wilfred Ndidi, Ola Aina

Attackers: Ademola Lookman, Victor Boniface, Samuel Chukwueze.

With this team, Nigeria is the clear favourite in this match, given their superior squad and recent form. While Libya will be motivated to upset the Super Eagles, Nigeria's quality and experience are expected to prevail.
