Nigeria
Osimhen was withdrawn with a 60th-minute injury in the game against Saudi Arabia last time out and the 24-year-old striker is a major doubt for Monday's game.
Off the back of an impressive cameo against the Green Falcons, Iheanacho could replace the injured Napoli man, teaming up with Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface in the Super Eagles attack.
At the opposite end of the pitch, Maduka Okoye could be trusted in goal by Paseiro on Monday, Bruno Onyemaechi, Calvin Bassey, Semi Ajayi and Tyronne Ebuehi retaining their roles in the back four.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Okoye; Onyemaechi, Bassey, Ajayi, Ebuehi; Chukwueze, Ndidi, Iwobi, Lookman; Boniface, Iheanacho
Mozambique
With his opener against Angola, Catamo now has a goal involvement in each of his last four games for Mozambique and the 22-year-old will be one to keep an eye on.
He should form the front three with Covilha man Gildo and Stanley Ratifo, who has three goals in 22 senior appearances, while Amadu and Guima should team up at the centre of the park.
Mozambique possible starting lineup:
Fasistencio; Langa, Nene, Dove, Domingos; Guima, Amadu; Witi; Catamo, Gilfo, Ratifo
Prediction: Mozambique 0-3 Nigeria
