Super Eagles head coach, Éric Chelle will ring the changes for tonight’s international friendly encounter against Jordan.

Chelle named a strong line-up for the Super Eagles 2-1 victory over Iran’s Team Melli last week Friday.

The Malian is now expected to give opportunity to some of his fringe players.

Francis Uzoho will start in goal following injury to Udinese goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye.

Hull City’s Semi Ajayi, and left-back Bruno Onyemaechi are also unavailable for the game.

The duo were granted permission to leave camp to attend to personal issues.

FC Porto defender Zaidu Sanusi will take the place of Onyemaechi at left-back, while new boy Emmanuel Fernandez will replace Ajayi.

New invitees Philip Otele, and Yira Collins Sor are also expected to make their debuts for the Super Eagles today.

The encounter billed for the Corendon Airlines Park, Antalya, Turkey, will kick-off at 6.30pm Nigerian time.
