Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro says some of the players he called up to the senior national team of Nigeria for the friendly game against Algeria were not known to him.

Peseiro handed call up to three new players in Savior Godwin, Raphael Onyedika and Ebube Duru but he also had seven players he hasn’t worked with before in Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, Chidera Ejuke, Maduka Okoye, Kevin Akpoguma and Taiwo Awoniyi in the squad for the game.

Speaking after the 1-2 loss to Algeria in yesterday’s international friendly game, Peseiro revealed that some of the players he called up he didn’t quite know them but now he does and going forward it will shape his decision regarding future call ups to the team.

Raphael and Godwin played for the first time with the national team. They did well. I called nine players I don’t really know before. Players who have not played with me before but some of them have played with the national team .

“Players we are just working with for the first time. Everybody played. Good job all around”, he remarked.
