Super Eagles head coach Augustine Eguavoen spoke to the press on Tuesday evening after his teams first training session in Abuja ahead of the Ghana clash.
Speaking to the media after the training, Eguavoen said: “I am very satisfied, you can see that the boys are ready to go. The good thing is that they are in season, they are in form and their confidence is very high. No injury worries and I am very satisfied with what we saw in our first training session, one hour, 15 minutes,”
Eguavoen, however, revealed that he is content wit his squad and further gave updates on the situation of first choice goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
“I got a message from Maduka Okoye, that he is going to come but we have a backup in John Noble who is is going join us. If Maduka recovers and joins us there is no problem. But we have Noble as a backup.
“Hopefully, we’ll have two more training sessions before the game, anything more than that will be suicidal. It is more of tactical talks than physicality now. We are ready to go,” He added.
Ghana will host Nigeria in Kumasi on Friday, March 25 at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi with the second leg scheduled for Abuja four days later.
