Victor Moses was passed fit to play, and Emmanuel Emenike has miraculously passed a late fitness test, but will be on the bench as Nigeria take to the pitch at the FNB Stadium against Burkina Faso in the final of the African Nations Cup on Sunday. Stephen Keshi has opted to continue playing the 4-4-2 formation that has so far yielded eight goals in the last three games, as the Eagles prepare to face the last challenge from the Stallions. Constant The line up has remained constant from the same side that surprisingly took Ivory Coast to the cleaners in the quarter finals, with Enyeama in goal, with just a single change.
He will have the quartet of Ambrose, Echiejile, Obaboana and Omeruo in front of him. The midfield will have Mikel sitting deep, with Ogenyi Onazi and Sunday Mba roaming in front of him. Victor Moses, who has recovered, will take up his usual place on the wings.
The only addition to the squad will be Ikechukwu Uche, who replaces Emmanuel Emenike as partner to Brown Ideye in attack.
Super Eagles XI Vs Burkina Faso:- Vincent Enyeama - Kenneth Omeruo, Godfrey Oboabona, Efe Ambrose, Elderson Echiejile - Ogenyi Onazi, John Obi Mikel, Sunday Mba, Victor Moses -Brown Ideye, Ikechukwu Uche.
