We need depth. Players always suffer injuries for Nigeria while on international duty.
Winners do it the right way.

My bet is ultimately, you won't see more than 5 new faces and that's being optimistic.

This guy.

How on earth does a bench "survive" a group of death when they don't even set foot on the pitch.

I have heard it all now.

These are the players who qualified us from group of death. The ones who played a significant enough role

Ezenwa
Abdullahi
Echijele
Troost
Balogun
Mikel
Onazi
Ndidi
Moses
Simon
Ighalo
Iheanacho
Iwobi

that's 13 players that will be in Russia barring injury

To me there are the remaining 10 spots up for grabs with

Awaziem
Etebo
Aina

Almost locked down

That leaves roughly 7 spots up for grabs, and this is not an "overhaul"

Its called solidifying the bench so we don't end up like Keshi in Brazil.

So because they played in the qualifiers, they should get automatic shirts to Russia irrespective of form or if there are better alternatives available? Hmmmmmm. I have heard it all.
