Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has handed Kelechi Iheanacho a starting berth ahead of the crucial AFCON qualifier against Sierra Leone at the Siaka Steven Stadium, Freetown.
Rohr made two changes to the squad that started in last week Friday’s 4-4 draw against the Leone Stars at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.
Iheanacho comes in for injured Victor Osimhen who has returned to Napoli after he picked up and injury in the first leg.
Ola Aina will start in the left back ahead of Zaidu Sanusi who started in Benin.
