Interim coach of the Super Eagles, Augustine Eguavoen, is
set to name a fresh face as the team’s captain for the 2022 World Cup playoffs
against Ghana.
Nigeria skipper, Ahmed Musa, has made the squad list but is
not expected to start.
Watford defender, William Troost-Ekong, has been ruled out
of the matches having picked up a muscle problem.
This will force Eguavoen to select a new man to lead the team out against the Black Stars.
Moses Simon is believed to be a firm favourite to wear the
armband, as he is considered a leader in the squad.
The Nantes winger captained the Eagles in their pre-AFCON
friendly against Coton Sport Garoua in January.
Leon Balogun and Wilfred Ndidi are also in contention for
the role.
