Otto Addo’s likely starting eleven to face Nigeria in international friendly

The game marks the return for Otto Addo as Black Stars coach and therefore, he would be targetting a win in his first match.

Despite naming a squad loaded with new talents for the friendlies, Otto Addo is expected to name a starting lineup dominated by some old faces.

Lawrence Ati-Zigi is expected to start in goal while Tariq Lamptey could make a return to the lineup, forming a back four of him, Mohammed Salsiu, Daniel Amartey and Gideon Mensah.

In midfield, Salis Samed and Edmund Addo could be the double pivot while skipper Andre Dede Ayew plays the playmaker role.

Jordan Ayew and Ernest Nuamah will be on the left and right flank respectively, while Antoine Semenyo leads the attack.

The game is set for 16:00GMT at the Stade de Marrakech in Morocco.
