FIFA World Cup 2018: Most Important Players in Group D

Valencia v Barcelona - Copa del Rey Semi Final Second Leg
Messi and Rakitić, teammates for Barcelona, will face each other in Russia

#4 Nigeria - Kelechi Iheanacho

Leicester City v Arsenal - Premier League
Kelechi Iheanacho

Nigeria made light work of qualification to the FIFA World Cup 2018, and were been unbeaten throughout qualification.

Gernot Rohr has inherited a mix of experienced as well as young players which allows him to play a very balanced team, utilizing the experience of skipper John Obi Mikel, whilst enjoying the unbridled and youthful attacking prowess of Iwobi and Iheanacho.

Kelechi Iheanacho hasn't had the best of debut seasons at Leicester, but he will be keen to find the back of the net in Russia, to show his worth.

He will be helped in his quest by the creative skills of Victor Moses, Ndidi and Iwobi, and he will do his best to make a difference for Nigeria.

Notable Mention: Victor Moses
