Nigeria XI vs Guinea-Bissau: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for AFCON qualifier

Nigeria faces an attacking injury crisis ahead of their AFCON qualifier against Guinea-Bissau at Estadio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau. Following a 2-1 victory over Madagascar, strikers George Ilenikhena and Akor Adams are major doubts after missing Sunday's training session. With Victor Osimhen already sidelined due to injury, manager Eric Chelle may be forced to completely reshuffle the Super Eagles' frontline.

Taiwo Awoniyi and Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Tolu Arokodare are pushing to step into the starting lineup as replacement forwards. In midfield, Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi are anticipated to retain their central roles, while Stanley Nwabili is expected to continue in goal over Arthur Okonkwo.
