Nigeria have suffered plenty of injury strife before AFCON once again this year, losing the likes of Bayer Leverkusen forward Victor Boniface plus Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, Nottingham Forest's Taiwo Awoniyi and Real Sociedad striker Sadiq Umar ahead of a ball being kicked.
Three-time winners who last tasted continental glory in South Africa in 2013, Nigeria finished third at the 2019 tournament before flatly crashing out at the hands of Tunisia in the round of 16 in disappointing fashion in Cameroon two years ago.
Despite those many absences, Jose Peseiro still boasts an impressive squad led by the likes of Napoli star Victor Osimhen, though his side have not been in great form of late and will be keen to make a fast start against an Equatorial Guinea side who have reached the quarter-finals twice in the last decade.
