The die is cast and everything points to Watford’s Odion Ighalo and CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa leading the attack in today’s make-or-mar AFCON clash against the Pharaoh’s of Egypt.
From the last training session, coach Samson Siasia it appears has settled for the duo to spear head his attack while Chelsea star, Mikel Obi and his Turkey-based compatriot, Azubuike Okechukwu as well as Manchester City new kid on the block Kelechi Iheanacho, will marshal out the midfield.
Scotland-based Efe Ambrose alongside Godfrey Obagbona, Stanley Amuzie and Matthew Etim will guard the defence with their blood, while Carl Ikeme mans the goalpost in the all important duel.
Meanwhile, Ambrose has assured that the Eagles will play for honour as they wage war against the Egyptians. The defender stressed that every player in the team is aware of the enormity of the task before them in the quest to edge the Pharaohs in the two-legged qualification bid. (Daily Sun)
