The head coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro has named his starting XI to face Lesotho in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on Thursday.
As widely expected, Francis Uzoho starts in goal, despite calls from several quarters for him to be dropped following errors against Saudi Arabia and Mauritania.
The defence is made up of Calvin Bassey, Jamiu Collins, Bright Osayi-Samuel and Semi Ajayi.
Alex Iwobi and Frank Onyeka will anchor the midfield against the Crocodiles.
In attack, Peseiro has opted for Kelechi Iheanacho, who captains the team, Ademola Lookman, Victor Boniface and Taiwo Awoniyi.
