A big move to Leicester, the Premier League champions when he arrived, didn’t go to plan and Musa was forced to return on loan to his old club CSKA in January. Genot Rohr had advised him to seek more playing time, knowing that Musa is a key member of the Nigeria setup. He was made captain during Sunday Oliseh’s tenure, although he handed the armband to Mikel John Obi when the ex-coach departed. Mikel, in turn, described him as a “wonderful professional”, but Musa later announced that he would no longer serve as vice-captain either. The official explanation as to why he stepped down from the latter role was because the responsibility was affecting his game both at club and international level, but there was also talk he had been upset not to be made captain in last year’s friendly against Senegal when Mikel was unavailable. He remains a vital member of the squad,

Gernot Rohr seems to have instilled some much-needed team spirit and discipline into the Super Eagles squad since taking over in 2016. A hugely talented group of players. Read a tactical analysis here.

Star player 
Victor Moses
Strengths
Central midfield with Mikel John Obi as the conductor and Ogenyi Onazi and Wilfred Ndidi as ball winners offers excellent ballance.

Weaknesses
The goalkeeping situation is far from ideal with the 19-year-old Francis Uzoho likely to start despite limited game time for Deportivo La Coruña and a mistake in the recent friendly against England.
