Lewis Hall is in line to start for England at left-back against Czech Republic in the Nations League due to Nico O’Reilly being a doubt with an injury issue.

According to report, O’Reilly and Ezri Konsa trained inside and separate to the main group on Monday, having both started Saturday’s defeat to Spain. Konsa is also uncertain to play on Tuesday as a result.

Trevoh Chalobah and Jarrad Branthwaite are other centre-back options for England, along with Marc Guehi, who started alongside Konsa at Wembley.

Jarell Quansah can also play the position, having been used at right-back against Spain. If he moved inside, Trent Alexander-Arnold could come in at right-back.

Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye could be among a few players who could come into the Super Eagles XI when they take on Guinea-Bissau in the second game of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Okoye was on the bench as Nigeria started their campaign with a 2-1 win over Madagascar but could come back into Eric Chelle’s plans for the game against Wild Dogs.

The 27-year-old could have been in goal for Friday’s win but did not get to feature after arriving late to camp due to club engagements and his decision to spend a night with his rumoured girlfriend, Cardi B.
Although he came under intense criticism for his late arrival, Chelle might consider giving him a runout for the game against Guinea-Bissau in order to keep the goalkeeping spot competitive.

Okoye is not the only change that Chelle might consider making, as he could also drop Samuel Chukwueze from the lineup.

Chukwueze started the game against the Barea but failed to impose himself, with his replacement, Moses Usor, coming on to score the winner on his debut.

Usor could now be in line for his first start in Nigeria’s colours, replacing Chukwueze in the line-up.

As for the rest of the team, Chelle is unlikely to make any further changes, with George Ilenikhena set to continue as Osimhen’s replacement up front.

Debutant Ilenikhena, Usor rescued Super Eagles from AFCON2027Q disaster on Friday
The Al-Ittihad striker marked his debut with the equaliser against Madagascar and will continue to lead the line ahead of Tolu Arokodare and Taiwo Awoniyi.

A win for Nigeria on Tuesday evening will put them in total control of their group ahead of the next round of qualifiers in November.

Nigeria’s possible XI against Guinea-Bissau – Maduka Okoye, Calvin Bassey, Semi Ajayi, Ola Aina, Bruno Onyemaechi, Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Ademola Lookman, Moses Usor, George Ilenikhena.
