Nigeria Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has rung three changes in the team that lost to Croatia as his charges prepare to take on Iceland this evening when they line up in a 3-5-2 formation in the crucial Group D game.

Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo plays at three-man defence with Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong, Ahmed Musa comes in for Odion Ighalo, with Victor Moses moving back into the right wing back.

Francis Uzoho has kept his place in the Nigeria starting XI against Iceland at the Volgograd Arena, but Gernot Rohr does make three changes from the team that lost to Gernot Rohr.

Despite his disappointing performances so far, John Obi Mikel starts at attacking midfield with Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo, whilst Bryan Idowu also retains his place from the loss to Croatia in Kaliningrad.

Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho completes the line up.
