CHAN – Eagles Form Worries Oliseh
Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh admitted yesterday that his team is nowhere near the level he wants it to be as they prepare to takeonGuinea tomorrow in their last Group C match of the CAF Africa Nations Championship in Rwanda.
Though Oliseh was optimistic of taking all three points from the Guineans, he stated that the technical crew was cautious of avoiding injuries. Guinea, equally have a chance of moving to the next round if they get a good result from the Super Eagles.
“We have what it takes to get all the three points in Tuesday’s game against Guinea. But then again, it depends on the form of the day. We are far from where we are hoping to get to. That’s why the two players (Muhammed Usman and Chisom Chikatara) trained separately.
You know that we played on a synthetic pitch, so they are feeling some pains in the groin. You saw in the game against Tunisia where we took Usman out due to the pains he felt in his groin,” he said. “Chikatara is also feeling it. But the doctor said they should be okay. Hopefully, they will be fit for Tuesday,” Oliseh said. The Super Eagles need at least a draw to move to the next round. A win will see them, topping the group.
