AFOLABI GAMBARI As the Super Eagles’ technical crew prepares the team ahead of the crucial Nations Cup qualifier with the Lone Star of Liberia in Calabar next week, the players will at the Training Pitch of the Abuja National Stadium today get their first test as they face Water Football Club, Abuja in a friendly.
National Mirror learnt from Eagles spokesman, Ben Alaiya, that the crew’s decision to parade the mainly home-based players against Water FC owed to the rising profile of the Abuja club in the National League Division One campaign.
“Keshi will use the game to see those players that could be retained or dropped before the invited foreign-based players join the team on Sunday as the contingent moves to Calabar for final preparation to meet the Lone Star,” Alaiya explained.
“He would like to have all the home lads available for the game in Calabar but this will be just impossible,” the spokesman added.
