Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, is not likely to start when the Eagles confront the Chipolopolo of Zambia in their second match of the African Cup of Nations, AFCON 2013.
An official of the team disclosed at the Eagles base in Nelspruit that Kenneth Omeruo is likely to be paired with Godffrey Oboabona in the central defense.
The decision of the Eagles technical team to bench the team captain may not be unassociated with his woeful performance in Nigeria’s first match against Burkina Faso.
The match is expected to kick off at 5:00 p.m. Nigerian time.
