Coach of the Nigeria U20 team has been forced into a late change in his starting lineup for their opening game against Qatar at the ongoing Poland 2019 U20 World Youth Championship.
Rosenborg defender Igho Ogbu failed a late fitness test and Aliu Salawudeen comes in for him to pair Valentine Ozornwafor in central defence while Nnamdi Ofoborh drops to the bench for Tijjani Mohammed.
Both changes are the only made to the line up revealed by Owngoalnigeria.com few hours ago but the formation remains the same and every other player is in the team.
The game will kick off by 5pm Nigerian team as Nigeria U20 aim to start off their campaign at the tournament on a sound note.
