Tani Oluwaseyi, who was born in Abuja, will lead Canada strike force, while former Nigeria U23 striker Promise David will start from the bench against Bosnia tonight in Toronto.

Promise David changed his international allegiance to Canada after he played an official game for Nigeria at U23 level.

He has only returned from a long-term injury he suffered while playing for his Belgian club Union St.Gilloise.

Oluwaseyi has joined La Liga club Villarreal from Major League Soccer (MLS) this past season.

Ghana top star Thomas Partey will miss an opening World Cup game against Panama Wednesday after he was refused entry to Canada.

The Canadian government has refused his visa so he can’t feature against Panama.

Partey has been charged with multiple counts of rape, five last year, and two in February.

He pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

FIFA say they play no role in the immigration, including granting entry visas.

The Black Stars are already without top stars Mohammed Kudus and Alexander Djiku

France bounced back from a shock loss to Cote d’Ivoire with Michael Olise firing a hat-trick against Northern Ireland and coach Didier Deschcamps praising his class.

“He is shining, just like during his season at Bayern. Everything is easy for him. He is effective and that is fantastic. We will also need other players,” remarked Deschamps.

Bayern Munich star Olise scored all three goals as France defeated Northern Ireland 3-1.

He gave “Les Bleus” the lead at the end of the first half, extended it at the start of the second and sealed the final result with an elegant long-range shot.

France will play their World Cup opener on June 16 against Senegal, and then face Iraq and Norway.
