The match between Guinea and Nigeria, part of the second round of the qualification group for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, started a few minutes ago. Among the choices of head coach Eric Chelle, Samuel Chukwueze is not in the starting eleven and begins on the bench.

The Milan winger had started the previous game against Madagascar, helping the Super Eagles to a 2-1 victory, but this evening the Nigerian coach decided to rely on other offensive options from the start.

Nigeria arrive at the match with three points earned in the opening game and aim to maintain continuity in their qualification campaign. Chukwueze remains one of the offensive alternatives available to Chelle and could find playing time during the game.

This is the lineup chosen by the Nigerian coach at kickoff: Nwabali; Bright-Osayi, Onyemaechi, Ndidi, Ajayi, Lookman, Onyeka, Awoniyi, Iwobi, Bassey, Adams.

On the bench: Arokodare, Nwaiwu, Maduka, Fernandez, Ilenikhena, Isaac, Simon, Okonkwo, Chukwueze, Onyedika, Moises, Ola Aina.
