Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has asked for total concentration from his players ahead of their final African Nations Championships (CHAN) qualifier against Cote D’Ivoire in Abidjan on July 27. He noted that the match will be like war against their West African neighbours.
Nigeria won the first leg in Kaduna 4-1 and need to avoid defeat by more than three goals in order to qualify for their first participation in the competition that will hold in South Africa next year. The team commenced training on Tuesday at the artificial pitch of the Fifa Goal Project site in Abuja with 23 players as Sunshine Stars captain Godfrey Oboabona was exempted due to his exertions at club. It was reported last week that the defender suffered a slight injury when he was mobbed by fans in Owo during training.


“The win in Kaduna is history and if you have been following the media you will see that they have been making remarks that they can also beat us well. We must be ready for their antics and forget the past,” said Keshi.

Keshi has invited four new players, including one defender, one midfielder and two strikers, in line with a pledge to inject a few new faces following last Saturday’s opening leg win at the Ahmadu
Bello Stadium, Kaduna.
The new faces are Kwara United defender Ganiyu Ogungbe, Kano Pillars midfielder Rabiu Mohammed, and strikers Abdullahi Gero of Enugu Rangers and Osadinye Joseph of Warri Wolves.

Two-goal hero Sunday Mba tops the list that also includes goalkeeper and skipper Chigozie Agbim, defenders Godfrey Oboabona, Azubuike Egwuekwe and Chibuzor Okonkwo, as well as
midfielders Olufemi Oladapo and Ayo Saka, and forwards Muhammad Gambo, Ifeanyi Edeh and Dele Olorundare.

fergiiosugo: Gambo again!!! SMH 4 naija!!

you probably didn't watch the 1st leg.Gambo was impressive,scored 2 goals of which 1 was misjudged to be offside. You're judging him with just 1 match. That's not a fair judgement.

fergiiosugo: Gambo again!!! SMH 4 naija!!

Obviously this one didn't watch the first leg. Dude, U should go back and see the lad's screamer of a goal in that encounter.

Ajibel: Nigeria would progress surely buh this thread comes early naa

yes it will always come early becox Super eagles are performing. unlike those days, Nigerians are hungry to watch their darling team play.

fergiiosugo: Gambo again!!! SMH 4 naija!!

...Because he missed one goal chance against the world champions and came in just few minutes to the end of the match then he should not be invited to play football again?

I rue the miss but I never condemned him while you all were lashing at him. What I saw is a great potential and that is what Keshi is surely also sticking to. Don't be short-sighted, football is beyond that.
