Nigeria U20s coach Emmanuel Amuneke has announced his starting XI for Saturday afternoon’s 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Sudan at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere.

The former Barcelona and Zamalek winger has kept faith with most of the boys that prosecuted the first leg tie against the northeastern African country.

Arsenal-bound midfielder Kelechi Nwakali will captain the Flying Eagles and has been named in the starting line-up, along with Wolfsburg trainee Victor Osimhen.
