Afcon 2019: Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr to unleash his ‘best team’ against Cameroon

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has revealed he will field his best players for the crucial Round of 16 fixture against Cameroon at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

During their last outing against Madagascar in the group stage, the German tactician rested some of his regular players by making five changes to the starting line-up.

The changes turned out ineffective for Nigeria, as they suffered a 2-0 loss in the hands of the debutants, which left fans upset about the team's performance.
