Qualified: Nigeria

CAF - 54 teams competing for 5 places

-

NIGERIA have four Premier League forwards in their squad — Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi Kelechi Iheanacho (right) and Victor Moses — and it was Arsenal’s Iwobi who sealed qualificat­ion last night with the only goal against Zambia. The five group winners fill the five spots, with Tunisia, Ivory Coast and Egypt looking strong. Group D is still open — Senegal are a point off Cape Verde and Burkina Faso. Algeria and African champions Cameroon are out and Ghana are struggling.
