The senior national team of Nigeria will play tomorrow’s quarter final game without two players who have always made the matchday squad for all of their games so far at the tournament, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.
They had their final training session today ahead of the game against Angola tomorrow and all but two players took part in the session which was handled by head coach Jose Peseiro and the rest of the technical crew.
Tactical and technical drills were held in preparation for the game with emphasis heavy on maintaining their defence solidity that has seen them keep three clean sheets in four games so far at the tournament, it includes not conceding in their last three consecutive games.
Peseiro was without two players in the captain of the team Ahmed Musa and high flying full back Bright Osayi-Samuel, who started the 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau in the final group game and was subbed on in the 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea on matchday one.
Both players won’t be part of the team, but the duo of William Troost-Ekong and Stanley Nwabali who were all injury doubt in the build up to the game took part in the entire session. Zaidu Sanusi was also present from start to finish.
