Ahead of the 2022 World Cup playoffs first leg match between Ghana and Nigeria in Kumasi on Friday, March 25, Super Eagles coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has expressed satisfaction with his players saying the team is ready.
The winner of the two legged tie will book in spot in the 2022 world cup holding in Qatar later this year and Eguavoen says judging by the response in camp and training session, the team is ready to go and do the nation proud.
Speaking after the Super Eagles first training session in Abuja on Tuesday ahead of their Kumasi trip, Eguavoen explained that Maduka Okoye who fell ill might still join the team, while Innocent Bonke has replaced the injured Wilfred Ndidi.
“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 said.
“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,” Eguavoen concluded.
