The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has submitted the list of players who will prosecute the Super Eagles back to back Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Guinea Bissau.
Nigeria will host the first leg in Abuja on the 24th of March before travelling to take on Guinea Bissau at their base and ahead of the games, Peseiro has picked 25 players who will represent Nigeria. A win for Nigeria in both games will seal their sport at the 2023 tournament in Ivory Coast.
We exclusively gathered that he has submitted the list of players and it will be made public after this weekend round of games in Europe. The idea is to see those who will come through unscathed in the event of any injury, a replacement will be named instead.
” It will be made public next week. We have to wait to see the weekend games and after that see those we might need to replace. The list is here with me and it has three goakeepers, four strikers, eight defenders, six midfielders and four wingers”, a team source told OGN.
