Wilfred Ndidi will captain Nigeria’s Super Eagles against Guinea-Bissau on Matchday 3 of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations Cup qualifiers on Friday. The Leicester City midfielder is getting back on the pitch with the Eagles for a competitive fixture, after 14 months with various injuries.
The 26-year-old made his debut for the Eagles in August 2015, making a seven-minute cameo in a 1-0 loss to DR Congo, in a friendly match. Ndidi played his first 90 minutes against Zambia in a 2018 World Cup qualifier, which Nigeria won 1-0.
As expected, Francis Uzoho will be in goal while Fenerbahce winger Bright Osayi-Samuel will win his second cap. The central defenders are Kevin Akpoguma and Calvin Bassey, while Zaidu Sanusi continues at left-back.
