Either of Genk’s Paul Onuachu or Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho could deputize for the former Lille target man.
Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye shipped four goals in his first competitive game for Nigeria, and the Sparta Rotterdam shot-stopper may be replaced in the starting lineup by Kaizer Chiefs Daniel Akpeyi.
The trio of Rangers Leon Balogun, Villarreal’s Samuel Chukwueze, and Club Brugge’s Emmanuel Dennis are carrying various degrees of injuries. Still, the former two are expected to shrug off the knocks and make the matchday eleven.
