Nigeria coach, Gernot Rohr shook up his forward line on Friday for the clash against Iceland in Volgograd, bringing in Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho among three changes for a match in which defeat would see them removed from World Cup.

They replace Odion Ighalo and Alex Iwobi who were toothless up front in the 2-0 opening defeat by Croatia, while Kenneth Omeruo takes the place of Abdullahi Shehu in defence.

Iceland coach Heimir Hallgrimsson switches his formation to a 4-4-2, from the 4-5-1 he used in the 1-1 draw with Argentina, with two changes to the starting line-up.

Big striker Jon Bodvarsson comes in for Emil Hallfredsson and joins Alfred Finnbogason, who scored the equaliser against Argentina, in a two-pronged strike force.

The other change is enforced with Rurik Gislason replacing Johann Berg Gudmundsson who injured his calf in the first match.
