Super Eagles’ hope of qualifying for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco has suffered temporary setback as all invited players for the crucial game against Sudan in Khartoum on Saturday are having one form of illness or the other. The players could not even attend the scheduled ritual media parley planned for yesterday to interface with members of the sporting press.
Out of the 24 invited players in the camp, only eight managed to attend the traditional parlay with the media and out of the eight, only four players spoke to the press with other complaining of one pain or the other. All the big players including skipper of the team, Vincent Enyeama, Mikel Obi, Emmanuel Emenike, Ogeyi Onazi, Austin Ejide, Juwon Oshaniwa and several others could not attend the parley because of pains.
However, CSK Moscow forward, Ahmed Musa who spoke to the media, assured that Super Eagles will beat Sudan in Khartoum, insisting he and his teammates are fully aware of the immediate importance of the Sudan clash.
“The games against Sudan are very important and we the players know it. We will be going out for victories both at away and home. We know how much we need to win these games because we want to go to the Nations Cup and defend our title,” he stated.
The coach Stephen Keshi led side are expected to depart their Abuja training camp today for Kharthoum ahead of the match on Saturday.
