Uche in, Emenike out for Nigeria vs Burkina Faso

Striker Emmanuel Emenike is ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations final against Burkina Faso after he failed a late fitness test.


Ikechukwu Uche is in for the injured Emenike, who has scored four goals in the tournament.

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi says: "It's unfortunate but we have a capable player in Uche to come in."

Nigeria XI vs Burkina Faso: (4-3-3) - Enyeama; Echeijile, Ambrose, Oboabona, Omeruo; Onazi, Mikel, Mba; Moses, Uche, Ideye.
