In another few hours, the Super Eagles will take to the field to trade tackles with the Yellow Men in an international friendly match slated for the Dnipro Arena.
It is Nigeria’s first competitive game since the duo of John Obi Mikel and Odion Ighalo announced their retirement from the national team. At least five more key Nigerian players have withdrawn from the matchup against the world’s 25th best footballing nation. Ahmed Musa, Wilfred Ndidi, Henry Onyekuru, will all miss the game.
But head coach Gernot Rohr has called on capable replacements who can do the nation proud when the square up against a team yet to taste defeat this year.
