Nigerias Best Xi Vs Rwanda: Predicting Eric Chelles Super Eagles Lineup For Kigali Showdown

Three months of scouting in and outside Nigeria, countless phone calls, and intense preparation have led to this moment .

Eric Sekou Chelle , the Cote d'Ivoire-born Franco-Malian Malian tactician, is set to take charge of Nigeria for the first time. And what an assignment it is - an away trip to Kigali, against a Rwanda side sitting top of the World Cup qualifying group.

Nigeria's situation is precarious: three draws, one defeat, and a spot in fifth place, and five points adrift of group leaders, Benin. Failure to get a result in Kigali could turn their World Cup dream into a nightmare.

For Chelle, there is no time for experiments. He needs warriors on the pitch - players who will fight for every ball, impose their quality, and execute his game plan with precision.

So, who makes the cut in his first-ever Super Eagles XI?
