Super Eagles’ head coach, Stephen Keshi, has
promised to, this week, make public the list of players he will invite for the
make or mar Nations Cup qualifying tie against the Lone Star of Liberia this
week.
According to sources, the former national team
skipper stated that the idea was aimed at putting the players in a better frame
of mind ahead of the clash slated for U.J Esuene Stadium, Calabar.
“We are aware of the task that is ahead of us in
Calabar. So, we want to make sure that everything is put in place and also get
the players ready for the game.
“So, I’m planning to make the list of players
public this week, but I need to return to Abuja before doing that because I
still need to discuss with the officials of the Nigeria Football Federation
(NFF),” he said.
Keshi, however, declined to disclose the number
of foreign and local-based players to be invited, saying that further
consultations with his backroom staff needed to be made before taking a final
decision.
“We work as a unit and I don’t think it is ideal
to reel out the list of players without the input of my assistants. We all have
roles to play in it. So, I can assure you that the list will be out this week,”
said Keshi.
