Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria\u2019s interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, is expected to drop Joe Aribo and Ola Aina from his squad to face Guinea-Bissau on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Both players have featured in the first two Group D fixtures against Egypt and Sudan.<\/p>\n

However, Aribo and Aina are only a booking away from missing the Super Eagles\u2019 Round of 16 clash.<\/p>\n

Kelechi Nwakali is being tipped to replace Aribo tonight, while Jamilu Collins should come in for Ola Aina.<\/p>\n

This will be Collins\u2019 first game for the Eagles in Cameroon, as he was the last player to join the squad.<\/p>\n

Officials claim he was held up by a row with his German club Paderborn.<\/p>\n
