Nigeria will face Mexico hoping to cancel a 4-0 loss suffered in July 2021 against the North Americans.
Ola Aina, who stayed alone as he felt the pitch, has not been selected as part of the players for the game with a potential fitness issue believed to be the cause of his absence from the squad list.
The game will also see Cyriel Dessers start his first game for Nigeria while every other player in the squad have had their chances with the Super Eagles in the past.
