World Cup: Nigeria Make Four Changes For Tunisia Game
High-profile absentees Joseph Yobo, Mikel and Taye Taiwo are back in Nigeria's starting XI against Tunisia on Saturday in Tunis...
Nigeria will start with three of the top stars who were left out of the home game against Kenya two weeks ago, as Everton defender Joseph Yobo, Mikel John Obi of Chelsea and Taye Taiwo from Olympique Marseille all return to the line up against Tunisia later today.
The three players were dropped by coach Shuaibu Amodu after they stayed away from the Super Eagles recent friendlies against France and the Republic of Ireland.
The fourth change from the team that beat Kenya 3-0 in Abuja two weeks ago is right full-back Olubayo Adefemi.
He could not play against the Kenyans because he fell ill just hours before the match. His place was taken up by the Swiss-based defender Yusuf Mohammed.
The starting Xi for Nigeria is thus - Enyeama - Taiwo, Yobo, Adeleye, Adefemi - Olofinjana, Mikel, Kalu Uche - Ikechukwu uche, Osaze Odemwingie, Michael Eneramo
