Additionally, Ola Aina assumes the left-wing back role, while William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, and Semi Ajayi fortify the central defense.
In midfield, the dynamic duo of Frank Onyeka and Alex Iwobi are tasked once again with orchestrating the team's play in what is suspected to be a 3-4-3 formation.
