Head Coach of Nigeria's U20 national team, Flying Eagles, Paul Aigbogun is expected to ring his team ahead of today's make or break final group stage match against Ukraine.
One of the new faces to start the must-win match for the Flying Eagles is attacking sensating Success Makanjuola who was one of star performers during prep.
Makanjuola has had a cameo appearances in Nigeria's first two games (Qatar and USA) where he came on as substitute.
The Water FC dazzling winger has been craving for the opportunity to be handed his first start in the team and is all but certain he would get the chance today against the table topper Ukraine.
Coach Aigbogun may have also heed to calls from pundits, including former Super Eagles' winger, Garba Lawal, who have suggested that Makanjuola be handed a starting shirt in the team.
The coach may not have further options now that his team has been ravaged with series of injuries to number of first team players.
Victory in the match against the European side today will give Nigeria six points and a passage to the next round.
The match is billed for Bielsko-Biala Stadium, Bielsko-Biała at 7:30pm Nigerian time.
